About Us

We change lives. We save lives.

The Support Network is the operating organization for programs that contribute to the well-being of the people of Northern Alberta by providing a connection to resources and information to individuals, families, and not-for-profit organizations.

Our Crisis Support Center, 211 Edmonton, and Volunteer Edmonton programs give individuals and families the resources and support they need to cope with suicide, manage crisis situations, improve their day-to-day lives, and access community resources.

We’re a highly trained organization of local people offering services for our communities with the help of dedicated volunteers and passionate supporters.
