From the Heart2Heart team
As we reflect on the past year, we are humbled by the moments of resilience, compassion, and hope that define our journey. Since 2023, Heart2Heart Crisis Line (H2H) remains committed to being a beacon of support for individuals navigating life’s toughest moments, and we could not do it without you.
In 2024, we responded to over 1200 calls from individuals in crisis; more than 2000 calls in the last 2 years.
Each call represents a life touched, a story heard, and an opportunity to listen.
One of our callers was struggling with the divorce and custody of their young child and called our H2H line. Our team member provided encouragement and a listening ear and together, they are able to name the things that bring joy and clarity.
Another caller shared their work challenges with a colleague and at the end of the call expressed that they had a plan of action to advocate for themselves and more importantly, they felt heard.

Since time began, security blankets and soft toys have been the bane of most parents' existence. The dependance and comfort a child gets from this attachment has long been studied by doctors, scientists, psychologists, and psychiatrists! They refer to them as transitional psychological supports that give concrete emotional reassurance. Yes, on one hand, there are real advantages; on the other, tantrums and stress when they are lost, missing, in the wash, or tattered to the point of no return can be disturbing. A beloved stuffed animal, a soft edged blanket, or a scrap of fabric that is unrecognizable to the average beholder is a must-have accessory in the sight of the youngster!
In English, the proper names and synonyms are often altered by the child but start off as:
- blankie
- softie
- comfie
In French, they fall under the following appellations:
- doudou
- toutou
- nin-nin
- peluche
Of course, these names are often renamed by the child.
