Giving back to the community that has supported Brasso for almost half a century is important to us. That’s why each year, we name June as the month of giving. Partial proceeds from the sale of every vehicle during our anniversary event will be donated to YW Sheriff King Home crisis shelter.

YWCA Sheriff King Home emergency shelter– many vulnerable women remain locked into a cycle of abuse because they have nowhere to go. The YWCA (SKH) is a haven for women and their children who are fleeing family violence. We provide basic needs including food and personal items. On site case managers provide counselling and connect clients to resources for housing programs, legal services, and education supports. The goal of the YWCA Sheriff King Home emergency shelter is to provide safety and security and then to establish a transition plan to ensure safety and security can become a regular way of life.

The acute and subsidized housing shortage in the Calgary community exacerbates the challenges faced by women accessing services. Using a strength-based and trauma-informed approach, staff support women to heal, build personal capacity and acquire skills.

YW Calgary’s strategic intention is to be a catalyst in a city sensitive and responsive to the real needs of women and their families. They are a leader in ending family violence and poverty and intervene when and where women need us most. We know that when you help to change the life of a woman that positive change ripples out to affect her family and her community for the better.
YW Calgary works with women, children and men to make positive changes to break the pattern of violence and find healthy relationships and futures. The priority is safety and sustainability for all members of the family.

Statistics
Family violence is the single largest woman’s health issue in Canada, with more reported cases than heart attack and stroke. It affects women of all races, ages, socio-economic classes and educational backgrounds – and in many cases, it involves children.

Domestic abuse has steadily been rising in Calgary over the last few years with showing 34% more incidents of domestic violence than the 5-year average. In fact, police responded to 3,089 domestic violence calls in the first three quarters of the year.

In 2017, YW Calgary helped more than 770 women and children through our family violence programs and services.
