Safe Haven Foundation was
founded in 1996 to provide homeless and at-risk teenage girls with the stability and trust of a warm and caring home for as
long as they needed, to finish school, work through their personal difficulties and become responsible, self-reliant adults.
In 2000, the organization went from concept to reality with the opening of a facility to house up to six girls, ages 12 to
18, to provide them with as regular a home life as possible and a safe, stable place to live. This program, now renamed Haven’s
Way and operated by Boys and Girls Clubs of Calgary, is recognized as one of the first programs of its kind in Canada and
continues to adhere to the original mandate of providing long-term homes with stable family environments and lifetime relationships
for homeless, at-risk teenage girls, empowering them to achieve self-sufficiency.
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.

 We know that a cancer diagnosis can be devastating. It brings countless life-altering
moments and events for the people who receive the diagnosis and for those who love them. People with cancer are compelled
to find a new ‘normal,' before, during and after treatment. Priorities shift, relationships change, life is ...
just different.
At Wellspring, people living with cancer tell us what helps them the most –
having access to information, receiving support, and learning new ways to cope.
Wellspring Calgary exists to inform, support, and empower patients, families and caregivers by helping them
to address the fear, isolation, disruption and practical problems which cancer can bring to our lives. All of our programs,
services and resources are offered free of charge and without referral.
We welcome you
to explore all that is available. We welcome you to Wellspring Calgary.
