Our History

The Mobile Crisis Unit (MCU) and Prince Albert Sexual Assault Centre (PASAC) was founded in 1977.  Prince Albert MCU was the second Crisis Unit to be formed in Saskatchewan, following Regina, two years earlier. There are three Crisis Units in Saskatchewan (Prince Albert, Regina, and Saskatoon). Representatives from twenty-one agencies and organizations determined the need to provide this type of service and carried out the planning steps required to set up the Cooperative. Since 1977, our offices have undergone significant changes as the dynamics and cultures have changed over time. PASAC has grown from the initial one counsellor to 3.5 counsellors, to meet the demands of the ever increasing sexual trauma disclosures. MCU has grown and evolved to ensure we are able to attend to people of all walks of life during their times of crisis and trauma.

 

In 2020 Mobile Crisis Unit and the Sexual Assault Centre purchased a new building downtown Prince Albert, where we are more accessible to our clients.

The mission of Mobile Crisis Unit is to minimize the long term effects of trauma by providing collaborative and immediate crisis intervention.

The mission of the Prince Albert Sexual Assault Centre is to provide counselling, support and education to those impacted by sexual violence and domestic violence.
