Youville Recovery Residence

Youville has been helping women in Calgary turn their lives around since 1977.

Youville's mission is to operate residential recovery facilities for women who experience the co-occurring issues of addiction, mental health distress, and a history of abuse.

In a unique home-like setting, Youville promotes recovery by providing its clients with holistic counseling and programming services which strive to meet the physical, emotional, spiritual, occupational, and social needs of each client. For women who are mothers and who might otherwise avoid recovery for fear of being separated from their children, Youville additionally offers accommodations and programs which keep families intact and which allow mothers and their children to remain together during recovery.

Originally founded by the Grey Nuns, Sisters of Charity, Youville was named for Canada's first and only saint, Marguerite d'Youville, herself a woman who overcame tremendous hardships to live a life dedicated to helping others.

Today Youville is proud to continue this legacy while operating as a non-denominational society and registered charity, governed by an all-volunteer board of directors.
