RESET Society of Calgary (formerly Servants Anonymous)

RESET Society of Calgary (formerly Servants Anonymous Society) is a unique registered charity, founded in 1989, that operates 24 hours a day all year-round. The EXploitation Intervention and Transition (EXIT) Program provides women with a chance to rebuild their lives. It removes them from them from the lifestyle, helps them conquer their battle with addictions, and teaches them that violence and sexual exploitation is not okay. It helps to break this vicious cycle for their children, and allows them to further their education so they have other means to support themselves. The program is a proven, trauma-informed model delivered as a continuum of services.

Participants (and their children) enter the program with extremely high risk of violent victimization and have often already suffered multiple traumas and victimizations. They come experiencing multiple complex needs and risk factors including addictions, mental health issues, homelessness, trauma, and experiences of violence.

The EXIT Program offers immediate and safe Supportive Housing allowing women to stabilize and begin the process of healing, and transitional housing to fully independent living as the women progress through the program. We deliver crucial services including: a Recovery-oriented, comprehensive Life-skills Program, Therapy, a Women’s Health & Wellness, an onsite Childcare, Employment training, Educational Scholarships, and a long-term Community Supports.

The EXIT Program not only focuses on recovery, but also ensures best practice holistic support is provided for Participants as they build the life-skills, employment, and resource networks they need to achieve stability and independence outside of sexual exploitation in the long-term.
