Saskatchewan Ministry of Social Services and Employment provides the Centre with a grant worth 60% of yearly operational costs. The remaining 40% (approximately $60,000) is raised through donations, fundraising, and special projects throughout the communities we serve.
The Centre’s goal for 2007/2008 is to reach as many people as possible throughout the area, educating them about our services, and providing prevention programs. We also want to focus on providing preventative and proactive programming, such as anger management, anti-violence, self-esteem, children of divorce, healthy relationships, and healthy parenting for children, teens, and families.
