Our programs are heavily reliant on friendship – on individuals coming together to journey alongside one another. Prior to physical distancing recommendations, we did this face-to-face within correctional institutions and in the community. Over the course of the last few weeks we have had to adapt our programs to ensure the safety, health, and wellness of the community is respected, while maintaining social connections, the heart of what we do. Program updates will be available to clients and volunteers via phone, email, and on
Facebook. Office Hours – office hours remain Monday to Friday 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. While the office is closed to the public, please feel free to contact Dave by email: dave@themicahmission.org, or phone: 306.270.5031.
Circles of Support & Accountability (CoSA) – CoSA circles will continue to meet via video or teleconferencing until government directives suggest in-person gatherings may recommence. For more information contact Adriana by email: adriana@themicahmission.org, or phone: 306.715.6503.
Faith Community Reintegration Program (FCRP) – We will continue to support FCRP inmates at the Saskatchewan Penitentiary through letters and phone calls, providing emotional and faith-based support during this time of uncertainty and heightened
isolation.
Indigenous Awareness (IA) – Interviews are underway for our new Indigenous Awareness Coordinator. We are looking forward to introducing you to the new coordinator, and detailing upcoming plans for the IA program as we are able.
Person to Person (P2P) – Federal correctional institutions have closed to the public. While in-person visits are cancelled, both Micah and the Regional Psychiatric Centre invites volunteers to write letters to the patients they are supporting. Please contact Dave for more information.
While physically, we are in different places, and largely apart. We aim to ensure our programs provide both clients and volunteers an outlet to feel one in community and preserve relationships and support networks.
