About our Program
Located in the community of Strathmore, Alberta, the Wheatland program operates using a house-parented, group-care model for young people experiencing diverse psychological, social, and emotional challenges who would benefit from a home-like environment.

At any given time, up to nine youth ages 6–17 live within the two Wheatland Program homes. Grounded in the Small Family Home Model, the Wheatland Program ensures youth and their families have access to 24/7 therapeutic and clinical support as they work through times of emotional crisis and conflict.
