If you’re looking to make a difference, make it with McMan … be the connection that changes everything!

At McMan Calgary & Area, connection is at our core. Every year, we make a meaningful difference in the lives of more than 5,000 children, youth, adults, and families by providing programs and services that support those with complex needs – including mental health challenges, addictions, homelessness, poverty, and disabilities. We believe in everyone’s deep and infinite worth, and no matter who you are, we will walk alongside you.

Through our work, we rebuild, integrate, and strengthen connections – to self, peers, families, communities, support professionals, and the land – because people need people. Our sense of well-being, identity, and belonging comes from relationships, and healing happens through these connections. Professional supports are there for a season or a reason – not a lifetime – because our goal is to empower individuals and families to thrive independently.
