Ranch Ehrlo, a non-profit organization, was founded by the late Dr. Geoff Pawson in 1966. It began as a single home for six boys with significant complex needs and has since evolved into a multi-service agency offering a broad spectrum of accredited mental health and developmental services throughout southern Saskatchewan, including the areas around Saskatoon and Prince Albert.

As a CARE certified organization, Ranch Ehrlo provides a range of services including 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, behavioral, and addictions needs, group living care for older adolescents and adults with pervasive and complex developmental disorders, as well as community recreation and sports programs for at-risk youth. Participants in these programs are referred from across the country.
