Located at the CMHA Calgary office, the Welcome Centre provides a café-like experience with a focus on conversation and mental health!

Our Welcome Centre gives community members a safe space to start conversations and provides them with tools and skills to learn about mental health and well-being. It is staffed by our Peer Support Workers – those individuals with personal or family experience of a mental health challenge (including substance use concerns).

Give us a call, email, or register for a virtual or in-person Peer Support session!
