Despite French being one of Canada\u2019s official languages, access to information and services in French remains limited. This study examined Francophone families\u2019 (FF) post-pandemic health and well-being needs (PPHW) in the Canadian Prairie provinces. An online survey assessed PPHW needs among 319 FF in Alberta (AB), Saskatchewan (SK), and Manitoba (MB). Respondents ranked PPHW needs from a predefined list; logistic regression analyzed socio-demographic influences. Divided into AB\/SK and MB cohorts, sociodemographic profiles were statistically distinct for many variables, but with similarities found in gender of respondents (women: 73% in AB\/SK, 79% in MB), marital status (married: 81% in AB\/SK, 88% in MB), area of residence (urban: 86% in AB\/SK, 81% in MB), and number of children (2 children: 49% in AB\/SK, 41% in MB). Three high-priority needs were shared across provinces: (1) access to recreational, athletic, and artistic activities in French for children (variations by child gender); (2) access to French healthcare professionals (variations by education level and language difference); and (3) social activities in French for families. AB\/SK respondents prioritized mental health services in French for adults and youth. MB families prioritized belonging to a Francophone community (variations by gender of children) and education services in French (variations by age of children). Understanding these common and province-specific priorities can inform policy and service planning.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph23020167","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,28]],"date-time":"2026-01-28T15:04:46Z","timestamp":1769612686000},"page":"167","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Insight into Post-Pandemic Needs in Healthcare and Well-Being Among Francophone Families in the Canadian Prairies"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-6349-2636","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Catelyn","family":"Keough","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Campus Saint-Jean, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB T6C 3N2, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-6789-0540","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marianne","family":"Turgeon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Campus Saint-Jean, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB T6C 3N2, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-3823-9557","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elyse","family":"Proulx-Cullen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK S7N 5E5, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3417-9208","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anne","family":"Leis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Community Health and Epidemiology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK S7N 5E5, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Danielle","family":"de Moissac","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Science, University of Saint-Boniface, Winnipeg, MB R2H 0H7, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3850-6061","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kristan","family":"Marchak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Campus Saint-Jean, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB T6C 3N2, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7817-5140","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sedami","family":"Gnidehou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Campus Saint-Jean, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB T6C 3N2, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Medical Microbiology and Immunology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB T6G 2E1, Canada"},{"name":"School of Public Health, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB T6G 1C9, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"55","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jad.2020.08.001","article-title":"Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on mental health in the general population: A systematic review","volume":"277","author":"Xiong","year":"2020","journal-title":"J.
