📅May 27
🕔 5:00–6:00 pm

May 17th is International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia & Biphobia.

To the 2SLGBTQIA+ community: you deserve to feel safe, supported, and accepted for who you are. Discrimination, rejection, and isolation can take a real toll on mental health, and you should never have to face that alone

Today and every day, we stand beside you. Our trained responders and counsellors are here to listen with open hearts, compassion, and without judgment, whenever you need support.

You can reach our 24-hour crisis line by phone, text and chat at 403-266-HELP (403-266-4357) or DistressCentre.com.

For youth support, ConnecTeen is also available 24-hours a day by phone at 403-264-8336, text at 587-333-2724, or chat at CalgaryConnecTeen.com.

For 2SLGBTQIA+ community supports and resource navgation, you can also reach out to 211 by phone, text or chat at 2-1-1 or ab.211.ca.

Whoever you are, whoever you love, you belong here.

Today, we recognize and celebrate the mothers, grandmothers, caregivers, and maternal figures who provide love, strength, guidance, and support in ways seen and unseen.

We also know that for many, today can carry grief, loss, loneliness, or difficult memories.

At Distress Centre Calgary, we are reminded every day of the importance of compassion, connection, and simply being there for one another. To everyone celebrating, remembering, grieving, supporting, or navigating today in their own way, we see you.

If today feels heavy, you don't have to face it alone. Text or phone 403-266-4357, or chat at distresscentre.com.

Happy Mother's Day from all of us at Distress Centre.
