Outreach


If you are living with domestic violence, or think something may be wrong, but are not sure what to do, our outreach program is for you. Our outreach worker provides education about healthy and unhealthy relationships, helping you to understand family violence. We will help you understand practical ways to stay safe, empower you to reconnect to community and link you to resources and community supports that will help you connect to the strength you have to permanently break free from violence at home. And, we will make sure you have the personalized support you need to navigate what can be an overwhelming process. On any given day, our outreach worker may be providing emotional support at court hearings, advocating on your behalf for services or helping you obtain basic necessities, such as food, clothing or shelter.

We understand you and your family have complex needs. To meet these needs, we may also work with other service agencies to increase your capacity to heal. The process, called wraparound, uses and enhances your own strengths, our work team and community to address many needs. By “wrapping” supports and services around individuals and families, rather than asking you to conform to existing services, wraparound is inherently responsive to your needs.

Call, text or email outreach at 587-879-6125.

Program

The Jessica Martel Memorial Foundation acknowledges the traditional lands upon which we live, work, and play. We are located on Treaty 6 land, and we wish to thank the Cree, Blackfoot, Assiniboine, Dene, Iroquois, Inuit, and many other nations who have gathered on these lands for thousands of years. We also thank the Métis people of the North Saskatchewan River Territory and Western Canada.

This land has been welcoming guests for tens of thousands of years. We wish to acknowledge the many migrants who have made Canada their home. Many of these migrants are also Indigenous to their home countries and have also been colonized for hundreds of years. This legacy of colonization has left Indigenous peoples impoverished as the colonizers took away land and extracted rich resources. These migrants had to leave their countries to seek a better life for their families.

We recognize that all Albertans are Treaty people and have a responsibility to understand our history so that we can honor the past, be aware of the present, and create a just and caring future. We celebrate and value the resiliency, successes, and teachings that Alberta’s Indigenous people have shown us. We honour the legacy of colonization and its impacts on Indigenous Albertans and newcomers. Most of all, we are grateful to the Indigenous people of Alberta for sharing their land with us and blessing us with its abundance.
