Our Story

Turning Point Society was founded out of a profound personal experience. Our founder, who had once felt lost in the throes of mental health struggles, recognized the need for a supportive space in Red Deer that prioritized harm reduction. While navigating their own recovery journey, they saw countless individuals battling isolation and stigma—barriers that could be dismantled with the right approach. Motivated by this realization, the Turning Point Society was born. The philosophy behind our practice stems from an unwavering belief in the power of community connection, understanding, and empathy. It is about cultivating safe spaces where individuals feel valued and empowered to navigate their paths. Each success story is a testament to the need for such initiatives, pushing us to create programs that resonate with diverse community members. Our founder’s journey inspires not only our services but also our commitment to innovative approaches that reject traditional stigmas and celebrate diversity in recovery.
