Counselling Resources
Family Service Saskatchewan’s Rapid Access Counselling Program is delivered through a partnership of agencies in communities across Saskatchewan. This service is funded by the Saskatchewan Health Authority. They offer quick access to brief mental health services for individuals, couples and families. We can help with concerns such as anxiety, depression, addictions, suicidal ideation, stress, relationship conflict, separation and divorce, domestic violence and parenting. Our services are prioritized for individuals who do not have access to workplace benefits, who live on a fixed or low income, and who would otherwise most often experience long waits for publicly funded services. THERE IS NO FEE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SERVICE, AND MOST APPOINTMENTS ARE ABLE TO BE BOOKED WITHIN A WEEK.
