Through the generosity of CP Has Heart - @CanadianPacific community investment program, Turning Point Society has purchased a much-needed automated external defibrillator (AED) to enhance our medical emergency response. Thank you for this incredible contribution! #CPHasHeart

What does Recovery-Orientated Care mean to you? #TuesdayTalk

This #blackballoonday, community members gathered outside the Overdose Prevention Site to share the memories of those lost to overdose. This type of loss is often isolating, so we encourage you to continue sharing your stories and thoughts with others. #neverforgotten 💜

Thank you @UnitedWay_CA, for this special acknowledgement, and congratulations to our fellow category nominees, including @CMHARedDeer, @SafeHarbour_CA, @BBBSLacombe, and @Cosmosgroupco, who took home the well-deserved category award!

On March 6, Turning Point staff attended the @UnitedWay_CA's Awards and Distinction celebration at @BosBarRD as an award nominee! Under the Funded Partnership category, we were recognized for outstanding partnership and collaboration throughout the last year!

@Macgyyver No appointment necessary. We are open 9:15-12 and 1-4:30. You can reach us at 403-346-8858 if you want to call ahead and confirm the time. Thanks for thinking of us!

@TurningPointAB I'll be passing by next Tuesday - do I need an appointment to drop off?

Our collection of bras and tampons continues to grow as we collect donations leading up to International Women's Day on March 8th! We are still collection donations for those still wanting to contribute. Thank you to ALL supporters (both local and provincial) who have helped us!

In January of this year, staff within our Overdose Prevention Site, NightReach, Rural Outreach, and Overdose Prevention Program were able to distribute over 540 life-saving naloxone kits to businesses, schools, communities, and individuals across the Central Alberta Zone.

The submission period ends soon! Be sure to send us your resumé and cover letter by March 1, 2023, to be considered for our open Outreach + Education Facilitator role within our Overdose Prevention Program. #RedDeer employers.indeed.com/jobs/view?id=e…

There's nothing minor about this magnificent gift! Two U9 & U13 Minor Hockey members stopped by Wednesday afternoon to drop off these thoughtful treats! Yes, those are chocolate bars wrapped individually to look like snowmen. ⛄️❤ #RedDeer #MinorHockey

Thank you to the Olds & Area Substance Use Coalition, in collaboration with @OldsCollege's Health and Wellness Centre, for inviting us and allowing us to last night's Safe Drinking/Consumption Event. A special thank you to our friend Samantha with AAWEAR for joining us! ❤

Last year, over 280 #Women within #RedDeer and the surrounding area accessed our Women's Program for individualized/trauma-informed support, with 2,648 total interactions. Of these interactions, program staff provided 1,343 referrals to essential health and social services.

We want to give a special shoutout to Turning Point volunteer, Kat Copeland for showing up each week with an unwavering passion for harm reduction and a determination to enhance the needs of at-risk community members. Thank you for your positive impact on our work! #RedDeer

If you exhibit exceptional empathy, self-direction, and critical thinking, we want to hear from you! Our Community-Based Take Home Naloxone Project is seeking an Outreach and Education Facilitator to support communities in Central Alberta. #job #RedDeer ca.indeed.com/job/outreach-e…

@HeatherMarcoux Thank you, Heather!

Looking to have an impact on our community? Turning Point Society is collecting bra and tampon donations at our office until March 8! With International Women's Day around the corner, help our Women's Program ensure clients have access to these bare essentials. #RedDeer

Another empowering act of service from our friends at CryBaby Hair Haus! The creative team of stylists took time out of their busy schedules to dye hair extensions for members of our community! Thank you for extending your talents outside the salon and into the community.#RedDeer
