Our History

PARTNERS Family Services Inc., formerly known as PARTNERS for Rural Family Support, is a charitable, non-profit organization consisting of concerned individuals working together to identify, develop, improve, and maintain the support of families in Humboldt and surrounding rural communities. This grassroots organization originated in 1997 when one of Humboldt’s mental health workers received a phone call from a woman who was looking for a support group for survivors of family violence. Each agency she called told her the closest group was in Saskatoon. The mental health worker phoned the Saskatoon Family Support Center. With their help, a support group was offered in Humboldt. The response was overwhelming and within three hours there were enough women to offer the first group. At a meeting of community workers in November 1997, it became evident that a partnership was required to supplement and complement services already existing in our rural area.

A partnership with The Centre for Rural Studies and Enrichment, the Universities of Regina and Saskatchewan, and Central Plains Health District enabled a research project entitled, “Domestic Violence and the Experiences of Rural Women in East Central Saskatchewan.” The project report recommended that family abuse information be made more readily accessible to families in rural communities.

In June 2001, PARTNERS facilitated a Stake Holder’s Action Meeting where we looked for help in generating a framework for action. Since then, various groups and sectors have worked together to develop solutions and responses to the issue.

The PARTNERS for Rural Family Support Centre opened its doors in September of 2001 and has since integrated more extensive partnering with the Departments of Justice, Health, Education, Social Services, Mental Health Services, RESOLVE Saskatchewan, local and regional organizations and agencies, as well as the religious community.

PARTNERS Family Services is funded by the Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Social Services, Justice Canada, Saskatchewan Health Authority, and other private donors and grant programs.

Hayley has been the Executive Director since August 2015. Originally from Ontario, Hayley has had the opportunity to work with individuals and families in communities across Canada. Hayley has a Master of Arts in Community Development and believes that communities are only as healthy as their most vulnerable citizens. She applies a trauma-informed lens to the work of PARTNERS Family Services Inc, and is passionate about ensuring equitable and equal access to services for anyone who needs support to realize their full potential.
