How We Help

The EXIT Program provides an immediate safe space for exit from sexual exploitation and the risks inherently linked with it through a proven and trauma-informed three-phase continuum of services.
The EXIT Program models evidence-based best practice holistic support to meet the immediate needs of survivors of sexual exploitation and trafficking.

The symbol of RESET Society of Calgary is the red rose, and so it is that we regard each woman who takes the first step to recovery from exploitation.
For the rose is a thing of beauty…its is also very fragile.
The rose says “embrace me”…but it’s thorns say, “stay back”.
The rose is a rose…but no two are the same.
As you come to know the “roses” within our doors, and they come to know you, you will both learn. You will find your place in the garden alongside our roses.
I never knew my life would change drastically & I would get the support I needed until I came to RESET. For that I will be forever grateful & blessed for the women at RESET. Whenever you go through pain, its creating a strength within you that you never know you had. Creating resilience, courage & the will to get better & stronger, creating a life of success & genuine happiness!
I decided to come to RESET and it changed my life. I began being the person I really wanted to be. I now know how to set healthy boundaries in all of my relationships. I am starting to build a relationship with my daughter and getting her back. I’m healing and recovering everyday.
