Who to call?
First, look for an experienced user or Super User (yellow or orange Connect Care lanyard). During the weeks before and after a launch, updated information about local supports, on-site drop-in rooms and a virtual drop-in centre is maintained in the Launch Supports section.
If peer support is not immediately available, consider the type of problem (see below or, for a printable resource, the FAQ).
