Yes, there needs to be availability 24-7. This is especially true for indigenous women. I wanted to add to the discussion of mental health that symptoms of mental health can appear differently. Again, mental health is a clinical judgment, and these systems can appear differently for people who have experienced intergenerational trauma. I just wanted to make sure that this is really clear: these issues of the symptoms appearing and how someone might get access to services are going to be different for indigenous women. That's my point.
