Who We Are & What We Do
The Pembina Crisis Connection Society (PCCS) was founded in 1990 in response to a tragic murder-suicide in our community. For over thirty years, PCCS has been committed to preventing violence against oneself or others through education, resources, and evidence-informed practices.
​
Our services have evolved to support individuals fleeing domestic, gender-based, and intimate partner violence, as well as those experiencing elder abuse. As community needs and available resources shift, our programs and partnerships continue to adapt in response.
​
PCCS works in collaboration with community partners to promote violence prevention and education using best practices grounded in evidence.
Mission
To collaborate with community partners to provide violence prevention and support services using evidence based best practices.
Vision
We envision a peaceful, respectful, caring community free from harms caused by all forms of violence directed at either self or others.

Support their members and work with them to end domestic violence through culture-shifting violence prevention programs, collective data and research, and front-line training. With support from ACWS, Alberta shelters are helping to provide safety, support families, and improve communities.
IMPACT: Domestic & Sexual Violence (Sagesse) Membership
