Do you Need Connect?
Four out of ten people in Calgary are, or have been in relationships that are abusive or show signs of abuse. Almost half of Calgarians have experienced some form of sexual abuse.
Healthy relationships and experiences between people are respectful, trusting, supportive, honest, fair and non-threatening. Unhealthy relationships and experiences are disrespectful, unsupportive and can involve everything from emotional and psychological control to physical violence, sexual abuse and assault. At Connect, we will provide support and information about any type of relationship or experience.
We understand that sometimes getting the help you need can be scary, embarrassing or just confusing. But Connect is none of those things. We’re a friendly, easy confidential service that helps you — or someone you know — find the support you need. It’s for anyone who needs help and the people who care about them.
