About Us
Shalom Family First Initiative Inc. is a nonprofit dedicated to making quality mental health care accessible to everyone. We provide free and subsidized counselling, psychotherapy, and community wellness programs for individuals and families across Saskatoon and surrounding communities. Through compassionate, culturally responsive care, education, and advocacy, we help people heal, build resilience, and thrive—because everyone deserves hope and lifelong mental wellness.
Mission
Our vision is to create a society where mental wellness is deemed a fundamental human right. In this envisioned world, access to healing services is equitable, meaning that a family’s financial status does not determine their ability to receive the mental health care they need. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to achieve mental well-being, regardless of their economic circumstances.
Vision
Our mission is to remove financial barriers to mental health care by providing free and subsidized counselling and psychotherapy. Through community-led programs, education, outreach, and partnerships, we strengthen families, promote resilience, heal trauma, and advocate for equitable access to mental health services for all.

Executive Summary & Core Mission
Shalom Family First Initiative Inc. is a nonprofit dedicated to making mental health care accessible to all. Founded by a Registered Nurse and Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC), we provide free and subsidized, culturally responsive counselling and psychotherapy for uninsured, underinsured, low-income, and marginalized individuals and families across Saskatoon and surrounding communities.
The Problem We Solve
Although mental health awareness has increased, many individuals and families still face significant barriers to accessing care. Those without adequate insurance often cannot afford private therapy, yet may not qualify for government assistance, leaving them without support. At Shalom Family First Initiative Inc., we help bridge this gap by providing free and subsidized mental health services. As a Black-owned, woman-led organization, we are also committed to delivering culturally responsive, trauma-informed care that fosters trust and empowers diverse and underserved communities.
Community Health Promotion & Outreach
We promote proactive community wellness through accessible education and support programs. Our initiatives include webinars and workshops on stress management, trauma, emotional well-being, and mental health awareness, as well as couples and relationship programs that strengthen communication, resilience, and healthy family relationships.
