We are so proud of our Families Matter teammates who participated in the Calgary Marathon Servus Charity Challenge this weekend in support of Families Matter Society!
Over the past several months, these incredible team members dedicated themselves to training, fundraising, and showing up for our community.
Alongside their friends and family, they proudly represented Families Matter and the work we do to support children, caregivers, and families across Calgary.
From crossing finish lines to building community awareness and support, they absolutely crushed their races, and we couldn’t be more grateful or proud of their commitment, heart, and hard work.
Thank you for running for Families Matter and for helping make a difference for the families we serve every day.

Our Breathing Space program is 100% community-funded.
That means our ability to provide life-saving care depends entirely on neighbours helping neighbours.
Your support helps deliver specialized care that adapts to what a family needs most, whether that’s a counselling session or in-home respite.
Give the gift of practical care that meets moms where they are:

The weeks after having a baby can be the loneliest of your life.
Even when you're never actually alone.
If you're struggling — with anxiety, with guilt, with just feeling like yourself again — you don't need a diagnosis to ask for help. You just need to make one call.
We offer free perinatal mental health support for parents before and after baby, up until 24 months.
It's never too early. It's never too late.

The small moments are the biggest opportunities to connect with your child.
A morning cuddle before the day starts.
Dinner without the phone.
A bedtime that goes a little longer than it should.
When life gets busy, these are the moments that are easiest to rush — and the ones that matter most.
Families Matter offers parenting classes and in-home support for families across Calgary.
