Newsroom
The Calgary Women’s Emergency Shelter team members are leaders in the field of family violence. Our approach gives a fresh perspective on abuse that does two things: we do not excuse the actions of the abuser and we acknowledge the strength and resistance of the people being abused.
Our executive director, team leads, frontline counsellors and even some of our clients have been featured in media stories across Canada. Many of our team members present our original research at national conferences, and we are regularly invited to speak about family violence in Calgary and around the globe.
For all media inquiries, please call the Calgary Women’s Emergency Shelter Communications Manager: Erin Waite (o) 403 213-5166 (c) 403 617-9913.
