about

We are all about empowerment.

Sagesse is uniquely positioned to disrupt the structures of domestic abuse in Alberta. We are active in more than 50 communities across Alberta – either directly providing service or partnering with agencies to deliver programs on our behalf.

We work each day to support individuals effected by abuse while also challenging social norms and advocating for large-scale societal changes that will eradicate abuse in Alberta. 

Our work includes:

  • Peer support groups and mentorship for people who have experienced domestic abuse, are at risk of being abused, or have been involved in sex work.
  • Capacity building workshops about the experience of domestic abuse within 2SLGBTQ+ communities.
  • Education to informal support networks about how to recognize domestic violence, respond (based on the situation), and refer to the appropriate supports.
  • Serving as the backbone agency for Alberta’s provincial IMPACT initiative. 

What people are saying

"It can happen to anyone. Domestic violence knows no boundaries. We are trying to teach Albertans how to listen when you tell them . Every Albertan needs to understand that they play a role in ending domestic abuse."

Andrea Silverstone, CEO, Sagesse
