Meaningful work. Lasting impact.

At McMan Calgary & Area, connection is at the centre of everything we do. Each year, we support more than 5,000 children, youth, adults and families facing complex challenges, including mental health concerns, addiction, homelessness, poverty and disability.

Our work supports people to rebuild and strengthen connections to self, peers, family, community, culture and the land.
