The phone number provided in the claims, 1-877-330-6366, was actually the Canadian phone number for the Trans Lifeline Hotline. The phone number was clearly listed on the Trans Lifeline's website, which described the hotline service as "a peer support phone service run by trans people for our trans and questioning peers." Therefore, we have rated this claim false.

Snopes reached out to Health Canada for comment on these claims and to ask if offering their services to American citizens is a possibility in the future. Health Canada is a federal institution of the Canadian government "responsible for helping Canadians maintain and improve their health," according to their website.

"No, Canada's 9-8-8: Suicide Crisis Helpline does not serve the United States," Karine LeBlanc, senior communications advisor for Health Canada, wrote via email. "The 9-8-8: Suicide Crisis Helpline is funded by the Government of Canada and delivered by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) and their local, provincial, territorial and national partners."
