We have five days until the Weyburn and District United Way Communithon kicks off and we are continuing our look at the member agencies that benefit from the annual event.

Envision Counselling and Support is one of those agencies.

"We have a variety of programs and we serve the whole southeast region of the province," said Executive Director Christa Daku. "Our mission is that everyone can live in a happy and healthy environment so we provide a couple counselling programs out of our Weyburn office."

Those programs include the Interpersonal Violence and Abuse program, which focuses on individuals who's lives have been affected by violence and abuse, and the Family Intervention program, which provides counselling for families with children in the home.

Over the years, the funding for Envision has changed and they recently created an in-take position that helps direct calls and get individuals and families in touch with the appropriate counselor within 24 hours.

"The proceeds go directly to covering the in-take position," said Daku.

Communithon kicks off on Friday, October 20th.
