All women seeking support at a women’s shelter are offered help. Shelters provide a safe place to stay and access to services like safety planning, childcare and more. If you or someone you know are experiencing family violence, help is available. 🔗 alberta.ca/find-shelters

Child abuse isn’t always visible: it can be emotional, physical, sexual or take the form of neglect. If you see something that worries you, it is your duty to report it by calling 1-800-638-0715. You can call any time of day or night (24/7).

Every child deserves a safe, loving home—and you might know someone who can offer that. The Refer-a-Foster Caregiver program gives $500 to current foster caregivers for every referral that leads to a licensed foster home. One referral can change a life. alberta.ca/support-for-fo…
