Catholic Family Services of the Battlefords opened its doors in 1991 to support families facing complex social challenges in the Battlefords area. In its first year, the agency served fewer than 100 families and operated with only two part-time staff members. CFS Battlefords focused on providing professional counselling, family support, and life enrichment programs aimed at helping individuals and families navigate difficult situations. The agency's core values emphasize the dignity of individuals, the importance of family well-being, and the creation of a healing environment where families can find the support they need to thrive.
Thirty-four years later, CFS Battlefords has grown and expanded its services and reach across Northwest Saskatchewan, now serving over 4,500 families each year with a dedicated team of around 40 staff members. The agency remains committed to its mission of empowering individuals and strengthening families. Through a compassionate, client-centered approach, CFS fosters a supportive community built on collaboration which helps families make positive, life-affirming choices. With a strong focus on creating a healthier and more resilient environment, CFS continues to be a cornerstone of support for individuals and families throughout Northwest Saskatchewan.
Our mission is to be open to all, empowering individuals and families to achieve their full potential in spirit, mind, and body.
CFS Battlefords is open to all and works in the spirit of truth and reconciliation on Treaty 6 territory and the homeland of the Métis Nation.
