Support needed for West Central Crisis Centre
Dear Community Partner,
It is that time of year when the West Central Crisi and Family Support Centre Inc. (The Crisis Centre) reaches out to request the financial support required to keep our various programs operational.
The Crisis Centre was incorporated under the Saskatchewan Non-Profit Corporations Act in 1984 and over the last 37 years, the continuing support of our community has allowed us to offer an ever increasing range of services and programming to the residents of our area at no cost to them. Though we work in Tandem with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Social Services, not all of our programs and services are government funded so it is your dollars that allow us to stay operational.
Your donation allows our Crisis Centre team to encourage and support people, families, and communities by offering client-based programming, diverse counselling options, and an integrated support service that includes access to:
Therapeutic and Front-Line Crisis Intervention
Interpersonal Violence and Abuse Recovery
Family Support Services
Traumatic Events Response Team Mobilization
Matrix Outpatient Treatment for Addictions and Acute Mental Health Stressors
Healing Modalities for Children Exposed to Violence
Court and Correction Services Referred or Mandated Counselling for Individuals
24-Hour Crisis Support Line
Human Trafficking Intervention and Survivor Services
Your donations allow the Crisis Centre team to match our service delivery to the evolving needs of the community. As with many of our clients, 2020 has also been a particularly challenging year for the Crisis Centre due to the pressures of COVID-19 and the regional economic downturn which have contributed to a significant rise in the demand for emergency-based services. We have experienced a continuous demand for new client services as well.
The Crisis Centre does though have some exciting news to share in 2020! In response to the heightened demand for service, the CRisis Centre is excited to be developing a new location to better serve our clients. Many of you have been watching thr development of a new Enhanced Crisis Centre Building, located just southwest of the Kindersley Walmart. The new building is just the first phase of the projected West Central Family Healing Centre which will offer the following in-house services:
Domestic Violence Safe Shelter
Emergency Crisis Nursery for Children
Day Treatment Programming
Transitional Bed Space
Domestic Violence Second Stage Sheltering
The Crisis Centre staff, board members, and clients deeply appreciate your time and kind consieration in the review of our request for financial support. Please contact me directly if I can offer further information around sponsoring particular programming or a donation framework best suited to your finances.
Donations are gratefully accepted in the following manner:
