The mission of OSPF is to act as a catalyst and steward of statewide suicide prevention efforts by supporting community based efforts to reduce stigma, promote education and awareness about suicide prevention, and increase resources and programs to reduce the risk of lives lost to suicide

SPRC has been helping to reduce suicide and its effects for over 25 years. We have listened to people’s stories of their struggles and have helped them find hope and counseling. We've sat beside people who’ve lost loved ones and listened to their heartbreaking stories, showing them that it's possible to survive. We have shown teenagers ways of building their resilience and helped men who've lost relationships or jobs to rebuild their lives. We have changed attitudes about suicide and shown that it is lifesaving to ask about suicidal thoughts and reach out to help people find the resources they need. Every year we teach hundreds of students & agency personnel to intervene safely in crisis situations. We work with organizations & caregivers from the BC border to Fox Creek & from Fairview to Grande Cache, with our offices in Grande Prairie, Alberta. We are accountable, use your money locally, and use research and best practices to address issues regarding identified high-risk groups.

IASP is dedicated to:- preventing suicidal behaviour,- alleviating its effects, and- providing a forum for academics, mental health professionals, crisis workers, volunteers and suicide survivors.

The Central Alberta Women’s Outreach Society has gone through many transitions over the years. It began in 1984 as an agency (Status of Women) devoted to supporting women dealing with women’s Issues, including family violence. In 1988 the agency changed its name to “The Central Alberta Women’s Outreach Society” and expanded its focus to providing basic support services for women and children in response to an overwhelming need identified in the Red Deer Community. Today, domestic and family abuse continues as a foundation in programming, public service, and public education. Priorities are established to ensure initiatives make the best use of generously contributed resources as the organization addresses their very significant mission. Current priorities are: • Domestic/family abuse • Dealing with the effects of poverty on family, especially children • Access to appropriate affordable housing • Assistance while working with/through the legal system
