Who We Are

For over 50 years, Distress Centre has served Calgary and Southern Alberta by providing 24-hour crisis support, information, and resources at no cost. Distress Centre does not define crisis. We do not judge. Anyone can call us day or night.

We are committed to fostering a respectful, inclusive workplace where employees are valued, experience a sense of belonging, and are confident being their most authentic selves. We welcome and encourage applications from Indigenous peoples, people with disabilities, and members of equity-deserving groups. We value all the ways that our community is diverse – in identity, experience and perspective.

What to Expect

The Call Diversion and Navigation Specialist provide crisis intervention and system navigation support for people who contact 911 and may be better supported by a mental health or community-based response. In this position, you will work directly with callers to provide crisis de-escalation, assess safety and risk using established crisis intervention framework, share clear information about available services, make referrals, and support callers in navigating community resources. You will complete follow-up tasks to confirm that safety plans are in place, and that callers are able to connect with the recommended resources. You will also assess eligibility for outreach and mobile crisis intervention teams.

determining appropriate referrals based on assessed needs
Document assessments, actions taken, and outcomes in contact records according to Distress Centre policies and procedures.
Provide services and conduct assessment in a culturally aware and respectful manner.
Work collaboratively with emergency services when additional intervention is required.

Community Navigation

Assess the needs of individuals contacting 211, non-emergency police, and calls transferred from 911 using a person-centered approach
Provide accurate information, referrals, and advocacy support using our Community Resource Database
Offer follow-up support to assess the effectiveness of referrals
Provide advocacy, when warranted, for individuals who may face barriers in accessing services or resources
Connect eligible individuals to community mobile crisis response and outreach teams (E.g. Human-centered Engagement and Liaison Partnership or HELP Team)

Other Responsibilities

Contribute to a respectful and collaborative team environment on the 911 floor at the Whitehorn Multi-Services Centre
Contribute to a person-centered culture that keeps the needs of service users and community at the center of all work.
Attend and participate in scheduled staff meetings, training sessions, and professional development activities
Work collaboratively with colleagues to provide a seamless, trauma informed approach and ensure individuals receive consistent, person-centered support.
