Empowering Families, Building Resilience: Moose Jaw Family Services Inc.
In the ever-changing landscape of life, we at Moose Jaw Family Services Inc. stand steadfast in our commitment to support you through every challenge that comes your way. Our mission is simple yet profound: to empower and strengthen individuals and families in our community. We achieve this by offering a wide range of strength-based and client-centered programs, services, and support groups designed to help you build resiliency, develop essential skills, and gain the confidence needed to make positive changes in your lives.
Our Programs: Family Support & Diversion: Life as a parent can be incredibly rewarding, but it also presents its fair share of challenges. Our Family Support & Diversion programs offer in-home support that caters to families facing parenting difficulties. These programs are goal-oriented, focusing on areas such as enhancing parenting skills, navigating the tumultuous teenage years, fostering healthy relationships within the family, addressing lifestyle needs, and developing effective problem-solving strategies. We’re here to support you through these challenges, providing you with the tools and support you need to thrive.
Young Parent Program: Becoming a parent at a young age can be daunting, but you don’t have to go through it alone. Our Young Parent Program is a nurturing space for young moms and dads, offering both education and emotional support to help you cultivate healthy parent-child relationships. With weekly topics, meals, and childcare provided, this program aims to empower young parents to overcome obstacles and build brighter futures for themselves and their children.
Living Independent Skills: Transitioning to independent living can be overwhelming for young adults. Our Living Independent Skills program is designed to prepare young people for the challenges of living on their own. We cover essential topics like renting, opening a bank account, nutrition and health, budgeting, and more. We also tailor our discussions to address specific interests and needs expressed by the group, ensuring that you’re equipped with the knowledge and skills to thrive in the world on your terms.
Counselling: Life’s journey is filled with ups and downs, and sometimes we need a helping hand to navigate the rough patches. Our affordable counselling services cover a wide range of issues, including marital problems, parent-child conflicts, separation and divorce, loss and grief, depression, and stress management. We provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore your emotions, develop coping strategies, and work towards healing and personal growth.
Rapid Access Counselling: When you need immediate support, our Rapid Access Counselling is here for you. This short-term and solution-focused counseling is available at no cost and can be accessed in Gravelbourg, Assiniboia, Moose Jaw, or through virtual appointments.
Education and Support Groups: We believe in the power of community and shared experiences. That’s why we offer a variety of education and support groups throughout the year, including Active Parenting, Nobody’s Perfect, Dad’s Group, and Mom’s Group. These groups provide a platform for learning, sharing, and connecting with others who understand your journey.

At Moose Jaw Family Services Inc., we are more than just an organization; we are a community of caring individuals dedicated to your well-being. We invite you to reach out and explore the resources and support we offer. Together, we can face life’s challenges, celebrate its joys, and build stronger, more resilient families.
