Programs
The Calgary Women's Emergency Shelter offers many programs to women, children, youth and men hurt by family violence and abuse as well as programs for men who want to change their abusive behaviours.
Though our Shelter remains the cornerstone of our organization, it is now only one of many free programs we operate in our community. In addition to our Shelter, each year we serve over 12,000 women, children, youth and men through a number of innovative safety, healing and prevention programs.
The Calgary Women's Emergency Shelter has five main program areas:
- The Family Violence Helpline: Open 24 hours for anyone who has questions about family violence or for anyone who needs counselling and support.
- The Shelter: a 40-bed residence for single women and women with children fleeing violence and abuse. The Shelter services include support for children.
- Community-based Programs: Several programs that provide individual and/or group support in the community.
- Healthy Relationships: A program for teens at risk of being abusive or who have experienced abuse.
- Men's Counselling Services: for men concerned they are hurting those they love.
