Foxvalley Counseling Services Inc

What Foxvalley Counseling Services Inc does

Foxvalley Counseling Services Inc. (FCSI) is a registered not-for-profit corporation founded by Mark Fox (Cree/Dakota, Piapot First Nation) and his wife Pam, headquartered on Muscowpetung First Nation near Edenwold, Saskatchewan, with a service office in Regina. The organization delivers counseling, training, and consultation services to children, adults, families, First Nations communities, and organizations across Treaty 4 Territory in Southern Saskatchewan. Its service portfolio spans therapeutic counseling (individual, couples, family, group), Intensive Family Support (in-home crisis response), the Talking Circle Program (Elder-facilitated mediation), Culture Camp programming, the Gloria Jean's emergency respite program, mediation services, Elder-led traditional ceremonies (Sweat Lodge, Pipe Carriers), and corporate training and consultation including Certificate Cultural Awareness Training and Cross Cultural Training.

The organization's delivery model is human-led and culturally grounded: it draws on an Elder and community network, traditional healing practices, and culturally sensitive programming rather than on any technology platform. Distribution is direct — services are scheduled flexibly with quick response to referrals, including non-traditional hours and 24-hour emergency access through Gloria Jean's Program. Go-to-market is community-led, with referrals flowing primarily from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Social Services and direct community engagement; the Ministry is both the primary funder and the principal referral source, with monthly case management meetings.

The revenue model is government-funded professional services under ministry contracts, supplemented by corporate training and consultation fees. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is contract-based. The organization is governed by a volunteer board of directors (including Keith Pratt, retired Saskatchewan Government director, and Denise Lovas) and does not have external investors, parent entities, or technology/IP assets. No product launches, M&A activity, or funding events are recorded.
