It’s been one week since our campaign launch — and we’re 12% of the way to our $150,000 goal.

Your support can move us forward today. Every dollar helps fund a Rapid Response Mental Health Counsellor who provides same-day intervention for families in crisis.

When help comes too late, it’s no longer prevention. Let’s change that — together.

Community Builders for a Healthy, Resilient Community

Thank you to all who came out to help launch our critical campaign:

Help Us Prevent Crises. Before They Become Crises

Board Chair Maria Weaver told the compelling PCFSA story: Demand for crisis help has jumped 250% in just three years.
Every $1 you invest in prevention saves up to $12 in crisis costs — and keeps families together.
Right now, every minute counts — and every donation brings us closer to funding a full-time Rapid Response Mental Health Counsellor.

🚨 Launching Today: Help Us Prevent Crises. Before They Become Crises.

In Canada’s fastest-growing community, families are waiting weeks for help that’s needed today.

Your gift can change that.

We’re raising $150,000 to fund a Rapid Response Mental Health Counsellor — someone who steps in the same day a youth or family reaches out, preventing trauma before it begins.

Every dollar saves lives — and saves our community thousands in emergency costs.

THANK YOU to all the Community Builders creating a healthy community with us. We value your support!

💛 Donate now and be part of prevention that works.

By listening, learning, and taking action, we can help build a future based on respect, understanding, and justice.

A huge thank you to 100+ Women Who Care Victoria for their very generous donation to PCFSA’s CRED program. PCFSA partners with Saanich Police to provide support for vulnerable youth and their families who are experiencing or are at risk of exploitation. As this crucial service is chronically underfunded, we are so grateful for the generosity of our community to ensure the most vulnerable youth receive timely support and intervention, which helps keep our youth and our community safe.
🙏🙏
