Sagesse Domestic Violence Prevention Society is uniquely positioned to disrupt the structure of domestic violence. With innovation as our cornerstone, we work to make a difference one life at a time through intervention and peer support programs. Our capacity building workshops focus on educating all members of society about violence to help make us all better at recognizing, responding to, and preventing violence. We also concentrate on making substantial social change through collective impact as the backbone organization of the Calgary Domestic Violence Collective and IMPACT.

Experiencing domestic violence can make you feel isolated. Being able to connect with others who speak your language and can empathize with where you are provides a sense of community and understanding. Speaking to someone who understands what you are saying and who believes you can help build confidence and help you process your experiences.
Our peer support programs are open for anyone who has been impacted by domestic violence, including people who are at risk of being abused, informally supporting others, or are involved in sex work.
