The Distress Centre Calgary Knowledge Hub (DCC K-Hub) is a three-year research partnership with the University of Calgary Faculty of Social Work aimed at improving crisis response services. It focuses on creating person-centered, impactful, and relational solutions through an inclusive and culturally relevant service model.
The project seeks to produce evidence-based and cost-effective practices to enhance and optimize DCC’s crisis response services, with a specific focus on providing appropriate support to marginalized communities. Findings will be published and shared with crisis response centers across Canada to enhance service delivery and operational efficiency on a national scale.

We acknowledge that this territory is home to the Otipemisiwak Métis Government of the Métis Nation within Alberta Districts 5 and 6. Finally, we acknowledge all Nations – Indigenous and non – who live, work and play on this land, and who honour and celebrate this territory.
