Our Story

Lula Women's Helpline is a Canadian federal non-profit organization that was created from the belief that emotional support should be accessible to every woman. Before challenges become overwhelming, women deserve a safe space where they can talk openly, feel understood, and connect with support that meets them where they are. As a result of the many roles women take on namely, caregiving, leaders, professionals, partners, parents, and individuals, they may experience unique pressures and stressors that can impact their emotional wellbeing. Lula Helpline provides women with a compassionate space to pause, reflect, and share what they are experiencing without judgment.

 

Supporting Women Through Life’s Challenges

 

Lula Helpline provides free emotional support for women across Canada and the United States. At Lula Women's Helpline we also extend our mission beyond borders by providing emotional support for women internationally through our chat based platform and connections to available resources.

 

Women may reach out during many different experiences, including:

 

• Grief and loss

• Depression and emotional exhaustion

• Anxiety and feelings of overwhelm

• Relationship changes and separation

• Loss of independence or autonomy

• Financial stress

• Experiences of abuse or trauma

• Major life transitions

• Feelings of loneliness or feeling unheard

 

At Lula Women's Helpline we recognize that behind every concern is a person with a story, emotion, strengths, and a need for connection.

 

What Emotional Support Means at Lula Women's Helpline

 

At Lula Women's Helpline, emotional support means walking alongside women as they navigate difficult experiences by listening with compassion, validating their emotions, helping them reconnect with their strengths, and supporting them in identifying resources and pathways forward.
