Our Mission
Kids Matter Calgary’s mission is to ensure children and youth in Calgary can access timely, culturally responsive mental‑health counselling regardless of family income or systemic barriers. We provide counselling bursaries, personalized navigation, and work with local organizations to provide culturally-informed activities to promote mental health wellness.
We are a grassroots organization, formed by a group of friends who recognized the challenges that many families face in trying to navigate mental health services.
Our
Vision
Kids Matter Calgary envisions a city where every child and youth has equitable access to mental‑health support, families feel empowered to seek help early, and no child is left to face emotional challenges alone due to cost, culture, or circumstance.
Healthy minds. Healthy kids. Healthy families.
