Collaborative Outreach Preventing Exploitation (COPE) Program

The Collaborative Outreach Preventing Exploitation Program (formerly known as Protection of Sexually Exploited Children Act program PSECA) supports youth aged 12 -24, who are at risk of, or engaged in sexual exploitation within Calgary and surrounding areas.

This voluntary program helps youth and their families reduce the risks of sexual exploitation in the community and online.

We support youth and their families to:

• Learn strategies to increase personal safety
• Build and maintain healthy relationships
• Make informed choices about their care and plan for the future
• Navigate education, counselling and related resources
• Access supports and referrals available through community resources
• Increase the youths self-efficacy and independence.

COPE also provides education and awareness building in various community settings. Our Community Education Series helps organizations and communities learn more about sexual exploitation, healthy relationships and personal safety.
