Resource Discussions

There are many great organizations in Calgary that are doing amazing work to support people in need, but it can be difficult and confusing to navigate these services when you're in a crisis.

Our Community Advocates can recommend and connect people to agencies that offer a wide range of programs and services, such as housing and shelter resources, food resources, mental and physical health resources, and much more.
