Established on Sept. 1, 1980, Saskatoon Crisis Intervention Service is a non-profit community based organization that provides crisis intervention services to anyone living in Saskatoon who is experiencing distress and needing immediate help.
SCIS is located on beautiful Treaty 6 territory. Treaty 6 is the homeland of many Indigenous Nations including the Plains Cree, Woodland Cree, Saulteaux, Dakota, Nakoda, Lakota, Dene, French Metis and Anglo-Métis. The ancestors of those Indigenous Nations lived well on this land prior to colonization. SCIS acknowledges the harm done to the Indigenous people of Treaty 6 by colonization, broken treaty promises, residential school, the Sixties Scoop and the Millennium Scoop. While SCIS aims to practice in an anti-oppressive way, we acknowledge the harm done by the profession of social work to the Indigenous people of Treaty 6. SCIS is committed to listening to the truth of the Indigenous experience and we are committed to reconciliation for current and past harms done.
We believe in harm reduction, a set of practical strategies and ideas aimed at reducing negative consequences associated with drug use. Harm reduction is also a movement for social justice built on a belief in and respect for the rights of people who use drugs. (Definition from harmreduction.org.)
