Buckland Centre

On
July 1, 1997, the Ranch Ehrlo Society opened a treatment centre,
located in the rural municipality of Buckland, north west of Prince
Albert.
The
Buckland Centre is designed to meet the needs of youth and their
families from northern communities and to assist youth in the eventual
transition from residential treatment back to their home community.
Youth who are preparing to return to their home communities in the
north and have been successful following their participation in
the Regina-based program, are considered for the Buckland Centre
program.
The
Buckland Centre provides after-care services and support to the
youth and families for a period of one year following the youth's
discharge from the residential treatment.
The
Buckland Centre property is located on 40 acres that border the
provincial forest and the Sturgeon River. Presently there are three
residential units (Alex Guy House, Flegel House and Klassen House)
which provide residential, education and clinical treatment services
for the youth. Each residential unit has a clinical caseworker who
provides individual, group and family counselling services. The
youth participate in two weekly treatment groups, one which focuses
on family relationships, and the other which focuses on developing
the skills and knowledge required for successful community living.
As
the youth are preparing for discharge during this phase of treatment,
they are encouraged and supported to increase their participation
in community-based leisure activities and education programs in
order to become less reliant on activities and programs offered
at the centre.
