The Ministry of Justice and Attorney General is introducing Family Intervention Rapid Support Teams (FIRST), for families in crisis.
The FIRST program will be delivered by West Central Crisis & Family Support Centre in Kindersley.  Trained outreach workers will be in place to intervene and provide services to families in crisis across central west Saskatchewan.  They will also provide ongoing support to families to reduce the risk of future violence.

The program aims to lower the likelihood of family violence and reduce demand for emergency services.

The ministry will invest $128,000 to deliver the FIRST program in 2021-22.  FIRST is expected to be operational September 1.
