Finding the right support in times of need can be challenging, but
Community Connect YYC is changing that. We are a group of Calgary-based agencies dedicated to helping community members to quickly and easily access mental health supports when they need it most.
Through our direct online booking tool, available 24/7, our partners are putting access to their services in the community’s hands. Clients can book in with one of our agencies to access the support they need. With many in-person and virtual appointments to choose from, they can get help soon and when it fits their schedule. Our service
connects the community to a range of supports, including several types of counselling, and even basic needs help, often within the week.
