Jonathan's Story

After losing his job, car, home, and relationships in a matter of months, Jonathan found himself living in a homeless shelter and struggling with thoughts of suicide. The weight of depression and hopelessness felt unbearable, and he couldn’t see a way forward.

But everything changed when someone encouraged him to seek help. Jonathan reached out to Calgary Counselling Centre, and within a week, he began individual counselling. Through honest conversations and reflection, he was able to unburden himself and start to make sense of the pain he was carrying. Group counselling helped him explore boundaries, shift his thinking, and begin to build healthier relationships.

Today, Jonathan is rebuilding his life with purpose and clarity. “The Jonathan that went in there is not the Jonathan that’s coming out,” he says. “It saved my life.”
