Mental Health Service Expansion

Limited Agency Face to Face Session Being Made Available

Jun 4, 2020 | 12:10 PM

Catholic Family Services Prince Albert is committed to the mental health well-being of our community. ​

In March, due to COVID-19 we shifted our method of service delivery to phone and video sessions.​

Beginning June 15th, limited in-agency, face-to-face sessions will be made available again. This will occur in a phased approach, increasing in capacity when deemed appropriate by provincial health authorities.​

The safety of our clients and staff is of the utmost importance. Therefore, the following protocols have been implemented:

· Our main doors are not open to the public – clients will be let in for their session by staff. Clients are asked to please arrive no more than 10 minutes early for your appointment, and when possible, call upon arrival.

· Our waiting room has been reduced to 3 seats and appointments may be staggered to reduce overlap. Children or partners are no longer able to wait in the building while they are in session.

· Health screening of clients will occur prior to and at appointment time. This includes temperature and symptom check. At this time, we are encouraging clients to wear masks, and if needed, we will provide one for you.

· Staff will also be screened daily.

· A Plexiglas divider has been installed at reception, and there is increased cleaning on all high touch areas.

*** Please note, those clients wishing to remain on phone or video counselling are able to do so!​

Appointments can be made by calling our office at 306-922-3202. Reception is available 9am-12pm & 1pm-5pm, Monday to Friday.

Walk in Counselling – Clients at YWCA Central, Our House and Homeward Bound facilities have scheduled access to walk-in counselling services via phone. Please speak to staff at those locations for further detail. Walk in Services are also available at the main CFSPA Office. Please call during regular office hours to speak to a counsellor.​

​Group programming will resume when a date is declared for Phase 4 of the Saskatchewan Government’s Re-Open Plan. This includes Strengthening Families, Bridges & all Life Improvement programs.​

Strengthening Families Program staff are available through email (strengtheningfamilies.cfspa@sasktel.net), cell 306-981-6882, Facebook (SF PA), or office phone 306-922-3202. They continue to take applications for future programs!

The Bridges Program remains closed until early July. Anyone wanting information about the BRIDGES Program can contact Catholic Family Services.

Life Improvement Programs are postponed until fall (This includes: Parenting from the Heart, Calming the Storm for Adults, Calming the Storm for Teens, Good Grief, Riding the Wave, Taming the Tiger and Stepping Up). Registration will begin in August.​

Although our office is currently closed to the public we are committed to continue to provide services to our community as best we can in these uncertain times by altering some of our service delivery methods.

We will continue to provide updates on our website and other social media sites. ​

Thank you for your patience & Stay Safe,
