Coming Together as a Community
Thank you for joining us on for the second annual Drive for Distress Charity Golf Tournament on Thursday, June 20, 2024, at Elbow Springs Golf Course. We had a fantastic day out on the green, golfing and building connections, and we sure hope you did too!
We raised over $97,000 to help Calgarians in need of mental health support, and we couldn’t have done it without you! Watch this video for a fun recap of our day!
We will bring back for Drive for Distress in 2025! If you are ready to get into the swing of things and sponsor the 2025 event, contact Deanna to learn more.
Again, thank you so much for your support of our mission through this year’s Drive for Distress Charity Golf Tournament! We hope to swing into good mental health with you again next year!
Thank you to our 2024 Golf Tournament Sponsors and Community Supporters!

Opportunities to Help
Our volunteer opportunities allow you to provide support in various ways, including over the phone and via chat, text, or email. We also provide extensive practical and ongoing training.
As Calgary’s only 24-hour crisis agency, we are often the first point of contact for those seeking help. Make a career out of making a difference!
Distress Centre is committed to furthering the field of social work, and we view practicum students as a great asset to our team. Practicum opportunities exist year-round within the Crisis Line Program and Counselling Program, along with other opportunities.
