Registrations and reservations for She For He are going well. Cardel Homes offered to hold the panel discussion/event in their upscale corporate theatre, so we took the opportunity. We look forward to seeing you on June 24th ( same time – 1:00-3:00) and  working with you to help men, children and families in Calgary.

CAFE Calgary acknowledges the amazing artwork and contribution by local artist Nathan M. Brown. We are grateful for the amazing job he did on the three event posters, which feature his caricatures of the five women panelists for She For He. For inquiries about his services as a cartoonist, please contact @wizecrackscartoonpanel

As you may already know, the Canadian Association for Equality (CAFE) and its social service centre, the Canadian Centre for Men and Families –Calgary is putting on a special event. The name of the event is She For He.  The panel features professional women discussing the growing “men and boys crisis” in Calgary and across the country. The panel includes: YouTube sensation Karen Straughan, local prominent child and family psychologist Jennifer Raymond, local family court lawyer Donna Gee, local suicide expert Mara Grunau, and CAFE Calgary executive committee member Monique Dietvorst.

CAFE is a nationally registered charity which advocates for equality for all Canadians, regardless of their gender.  The charity advocacy puts a special emphasis on the marginalized issues and needs of men, children and their families. Additionally, CAFE implements privately-funded social services through our Canadian Centre for Men and Families – Calgary.  We are pioneers in the field of providing these specialized services in Calgary.  Currently, we operate on a part-time basis from a donated office space. We are fundraising and accepting donations to create a full time Canadian Centre for Men and Families in Calgary.

Please note that the event is free, and we invite everyone to get their ticket on Eventbrite before June 18th!

It’s possible we may be able to co-host for future screening, and we hope to achieve another screening this year if we find the interested parties (such as schools, private organizations, etc) who would like to co-host a screening.

We are bubbling and brewing and making the plans for another event, which we hope to promote shortly.

Lastly, we try to always promote the new Calgary Center for Men and Families, and make sure men  have full knowledge of their services options in Calgary. 

We hope to expand our services over the coming year to include so much more needed services for men and families.

In the Calgary Center for Men and Familes, we have a private men’s peer circle, which occurs in a beautifully renovated psychology clinic.

For men who wish to register for our Men’s Peer Support Group at the center, please email calgary@equalitycanada.com

In addition to the programming and mental health services we provide in the center, we have a meetup group where we get together and discuss the politics and issues in a rational discussion.
