It’s Good For The Community              

Mental illness is one of the most pervasive illnesses in Canada, with more than one person in five suffering from some form of mental illness in Calgary alone. Many people with mental illness have been told that they cannot work, and the loss in productivity in Canada represents $30 billion annually. 

While some people may face physical barriers when trying to access the workplace, those with mental illness can also face emotional barriers. At Potential Place we see our role as the 'accessibility ramp' that provides those with a mental illness a smooth transition into your workplace. 

We believe that, given the right environment, all people with a mental illness can become productive and employable members of society. Many Potential Place members are willing and able to work right now. 

Combining your employment opportunities with our on-the-job training and support, we can give members of our community suffering from mental illness the chance to work in the competitive job market, receive a regular paycheck and ultimately improve their self-confidence and regaining their social position within the Calgary community.
