In 2018, we saw the need for all of our services increase by 13.7%. And this need continues to grow in 2019.

Help us connect with more Calgarians

Our trained volunteers and staff work hard to ensure that Distress Centre remains open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year to connect with people when they need it. This includes our free 24-hour crisis, ConnecTeen and 211 lines, and in-person professional counselling services.

Your donation will go far. Our social return on investment is $7.42 for every dollar donated.

Donate

Your gift makes it possible for thousands of Calgarians to receive free support via 24-hour phone, email, chat, text for youth and face-to-face counselling. In your darkest moments, Distress Centre is here for you.

Until September 1, 2019, you can have your online donation matched up to 50% by donating through Shaw Birdies for Kids presented by AltaLink.

“We are giving people the one thing everyone needs (but doesn’t always get) – someone who actually listens and genuinely cares, no matter the problem. Something as simple as listening has the power to impact people in the way they view themselves and the way they interact in the world.”
