Wanna talk? We're here for you.

We're good at keeping secrets.  Maybe too good. 


We're generally known in the community for the outreach and education services we provide.  But its not as well known in the broader community that we also offer one-on-one confidential counselling.


Last year we provided counselling services to 307 individuals, offering confidential information, support, and referrals on a diverse range of sexual health issues. 

Our counsellors offer support and information on sexually transmitted infections, sexual orientation and gender identity, birth control options, pregnancy options, sexuality and disability, and many other health issues.  For our counsellors, each one-on-one counselling session with a client can require hours of prep and research to ensure the client is supported.

We support Calgarians of all ages, providing access to sexual health information across the life span:

- 41% of our counselling clients last year were aged 10-19
- 36% were aged 20-29
- 12% were aged 30-39
- 5% were aged 41-60
- and 6% did not disclose their age

Need to talk?  Got questions?  We're here for you when you're ready.
