Through integrated programs and services, CUPS, supports Calgarians facing poverty, adversity, and trauma to create lasting change and stability.

CUPS provides integrated support in the areas of Healthcare, Basic Needs & Housing, and Family & Child services to low-income Calgarians living with the adversity of poverty and traumatic events. While our work is rooted in the science of brain development, our passion is helping people effectively address their challenges, build stability and ultimately improve overall wellbeing.

We're proud to share that CUPS recently achieved 100% compliance in the Canadian Accreditation Council review of our Mental Health and Opioid Agonist Therapy (OAT) programs.

This result reflects much more than meeting a standard. It affirms our commitment to delivering high-quality, client-centred care for people navigating complex mental health and substance use challenges. It also demonstrates the strength of the systems, partnerships, and people that support this work every day.

Accreditation is one moment in time, but quality improvement is ongoing. We continue to listen, learn, and evolve so that every person who walks through our doors receives the respectful, integrated care they deserve.

To our Mental Health and OAT teams—thank you. Your knowledge, collaboration, and unwavering dedication make achievements like this possible, but more importantly, they make a lasting difference in the lives of the people we serve every day.

Today, CUPS spent the day honouring International Overdose Awareness Day (IOAD) and remembering the lives impacted.

Every August 31, IOAD brings people around the world together to remember those we have lost and raise awareness about overdose prevention. This year marks the 25th anniversary of IOAD, with the theme “25 Years On. Still Needed.” The theme recognizes that overdoses continue to affect our communities, and there is still work to do.

CUPS took the time together today to reflect, remember, learn, hold space and share stories. As part of our observance, memorial trees were placed throughout CUPS with purple branches to honour those whose lives have been impacted. Clients and staff were invited to add a name or note in memory of someone they have lost or someone who has been affected by drug poisoning.

To learn more about International Overdose Awareness Day, visit: www.overdoseday.com. Together, we can reduce stigma, raise awareness, expand access to care and ensure people are met with dignity, compassion and connection.

CUPS was out today at the Calgary Pop-Up Care Village - thank you to everyone who stopped by!

Central Memorial Park was filled with connection, care, and community. Hundreds of Calgarians gathered to access vital supports, enjoy live music, food, and connection with local service providers.

For this month's CUPian Spotlight, meet Kassya, one of CUPS' Community Development Case Managers!

"Hi, I'm Kassya Whelan, and I'm one of the Community Development Case Managers here at CUPS.

As an Intensive Case Manager with Community Development at CUPS, I support people through challenging and often complex circumstances. I build genuine relationships, listen without judgment, and help connect people to the resources and support they need. My goal is to walk alongside clients as they work toward greater stability, confidence, and a stronger sense of belonging in their community!

I do this work because I’ve always had a passion for helping people and being someone they can lean on and feel supported by. Since I was 15, I’ve wanted to go to school to become a social worker, and I feel lucky to now be doing work that reflects that passion. A fun fact about me is that I play on a women’s rugby team, and we recently won our second provincial championship!"

Thank you Kassya for all of the important work that you do!
