Sagesse

Empowering individuals, organizations and communities to disrupt structures of abuse. Revenue from ByDesign is invested in Sagesse’s programs and services.

Sagesse empowers people of all backgrounds to disrupt structures of abuse through curating environments to heal and lead safe, healthy lives. With innovation as our programming cornerstone, Sagesse works for anyone who has experienced domestic abuse, including people who are at risk of being abused, informally support others, or are involved in s*x work. We work in more than 50 communities across Alberta – either directly providing service or partnering with agencies to deliver programs on our behalf. We are the backbone agency for the Calgary Domestic Violence Collective and Alberta’s provincial IMPACT initiative. In the role of backbone, our job is to steward the creation of a vision and strategy for our collective impact initiatives, mobilizing largescale change and advancing policy to eradicate domestic and s*xual abuse. Our social enterprise arm, ByDesign, is a hub of knowledge, experience, and innovation with an aim to disrupt norms, dispel disbelief, and deepen societal impact.

This Thanksgiving, we're reflecting on the power of community.

For 40 years, people have come together to support Sagesse's vision of a world free from abuse.

Every act of support, every partnership, every donation, and every shared connection has helped create opportunities for safety, healing, and growth.

This Thanksgiving, we are deeply grateful for the community that makes this work possible.

Wishing you a happy and meaningful Thanksgiving. 🍂

Today is World Mental Health Day.

Mental health is just as important as physical health, yet so many people struggle in silence. Let's create spaces where people feel safe to ask for help, share their experiences, and know they are not alone. 💜

Many people drawn into extremist movements are groomed, isolated, and manipulated in ways that mirror domestic abuse and s*xual exploitation. 🧩

Join us on October 5 at 1:00 p.m. EDT for From Manipulation to Mobilization: How Coercive Control Drives Radicalization. Andrea Silverstone, RSW, and Carrie McManus, RSW, of Sagesse will show how recruiters use coercive control tactics, including isolation, dependency, grievance exploitation, and online recruitment, to build loyalty and reshape beliefs.

This one-hour, trauma-informed session will help social workers spot risk earlier and respond with both empathy and accountability.
