Meet SANet
We are dedicated. We are knowledgeable. We are empowering. We are SANet.
The SANet hotline is staffed by members of the BC community whom you already know and trust. You can feel confident reaching out for help because you know who is on the other end of the line. Below, you can read more about some of the advocates who serve on our hotline.
