ABOUT

Ranch Ehrlo

Ranch Ehrlo, a non-profit organization, founded by the late Dr. Geoff Pawson in 1966. It started as a single home for six boys with significant complex needs and grew to a multi-service agency delivering a wide range of accredited mental health and developmental services delivered in southern Saskatchewan and in and around Saskatoon and Prince Albert.

As a CARE certified organization, our services include assessment and psychotherapy for members of the broader community, family treatment and reunification, early learning, vocational training, emergency receiving services, treatment foster care, affordable housing, group living treatment and education for children and youth with mental health, behavioural, and addictions needs, group living care for older adolescents and adults with pervasive and complex developmental disorders, and community recreation and sports programs for at-risk youth. Our participants are referred from across the country.

Faces of the Ranch: Nathan Laurin

To conclude our Faces of the Ranch series, we introduce you to a father who has the courage to share his story – giving hope to parents who may feel misguided or uncertain about recovery programs. Nathan Laurin, originally from Sandy Bay, Saskatchewan, battled addiction and was in and out of his daughter’s life for her first several years. In 2019, Nathan committed to a better path forward and entered a sober living facility in Saskatoon, relocating to be closer to his daughter, who was living with relatives at the time.
