About Catholic Family Services Prince Albert

Since 1985 Catholic Family Services of Prince Albert, a nonprofit organization, has been supporting individuals, couples, and families in strengthening and improving their reliance, safety, and mental well-being. We provide professional services which includes counselling and programming for a variety of needs, including conflict, grief, depression, stress, anxiety, anger, family violence, emotional control, interpersonal conflict, family separation etc. On an annual basis, our organization serves over 2000 high risk youth, marginalized women, children exposed to violence, recovering addicts, grief survivors, individuals suffering with depression, and recently separated families.

Throughout our proud history, we have served with compassion for all of humanity regardless of where our clients come from. Our programs and services strive to be barrier free, always. We promote ease of access for those who have the courage to come to us for help, and will offer something of value to everyone who reaches out. That is our promise to the community.


By participating in Ride for Refuge on September 23 you will help us to continue to fulfill our mission of strengthening and supporting the mental and emotional health of all those we serve.


We acknowledge that we are in the traditional territories of the Cree, Dene, Nakota, Saulteaux and Ojibwe First Nations, and the homeland of the Metis Nation. In recognition of Treaty 6, and in the spirit of reconciliation, we reaffirm our commitment, connection and responsibility to each other.
