| | Mosaic Program for Healthy Sexual Behaviors | | |
The Mosaic program at SAiF is a treatment program designed for children and youth ages 7-14 who are struggling with problematic sexual behaviours (PSB). These behaviours go beyond typical sexual curiosity and are child-initiated, involve parts of the body considered sexual/private (e.g., genitals, mouth), are developmentally inappropriate and may cause harm to the child or other children (e.g., physical or emotional harm).
Multiple factors contribute to children developing PSB including histories of maltreatment (e.g., sexual or physical abuse), difficulties in the home environment (e.g., exposure to family violence), family adversity (e.g., caregiver substance misuse) and/or childhood vulnerabilities (e.g., impulse control problems). Research estimates that between 25%-33% of sexual offenses against children are committed by other children/youth (Finkelhor et al., 2009; Hackett, 2014; National Children’s Alliance, 2016).
The Mosaic program employs a Cognitive Behavior Therapy model specifically developed to address problematic sexual behaviors (PSB-CBT). The goal of the Mosaic program is to eliminate problematic sexual behaviours and increase healthy social behaviours in children, while supporting caregivers to reduce stress and enrich parenting skills. Research shows that this program helps families meet these goals.
We are currently accepting referrals for children aged 7-14 years and their caregivers.
If you are interested in registering for this program, please call our office at 780-460-2195 ext. 301 or visit our website for more details!

Sponsor a Space and
Support Our Clients in their Healing Journey
| | |
Looking for a unique way to support the work done at SAiF? Now you can sponsor a space in our new office. We currently have four opportunities available for sponsorship. The sponsorship commitment for the offices is $1,000/month for 12 months, and $1,500/month for 12 months for the Ireen Slater SAiF Space, named in honour of our founder.
A special plaque will be installed outside of a room recognizing you or our organization as a sponsor, and a tax receipt will be issued at the end of the year. You’ll also receive a framed image of the sponsorship plaque beside the door so you can proudly share your support of SAiF, to say nothing of the social media posts, and website space declaring our eternal gratitude.
If you're interested in learning more, or want to sponsor a room, please contact our Executive Director, Mark Dixon, at 780-460-2195 ext. 306 or by email: mark@saifsociety.ca

SAiF in Style
Hair stylists, estheticians and other personal service providers often are considered safe people for clients to share their personal stories with. Have you ever had a disclosure around abuse, intimate partner violence or gender-based violence and have wondered what to say and how to help?
We are here to help. A new awareness campaign launching in November 2025, SAiF in Style, has the goal of helping hair stylists carefully and quickly manage disclosures and provide highly visual information for their clients to reach out to. SAiF in Style is a partnership between SAiF Society and Family & Community Support Services, Community Services, City of St. Albert.
By sending us an email expressing your interest we can provide your salon with:
- Mirror clings for either salon mirrors or bathroom mirrors. These clings are long lasting but can be easily removed. The clings have information for individuals experiencing or wondering about Gender-Based-Violence, and who to call whether it’s an emergency or exploring options
- An easy-to-read guide on information you need to know to respond to disclosures or concerns
-
A quick stop at your salon to drop off the above or we can spend 10 minutes answering any questions stylists have. If there is interest in a one-hour session at a central St. Albert location we are happy to host an interactive information session for hair stylists.
