Overview

We’re here to help women rebuild their lives.

We support clients in their recovery through:

• • Individual assessment and treatment planning;
  • Individual and group counselling as well as goal-setting sessions;
  • Educational workshops specifically designed for the needs of women;
  • Attending a Twelve-Step Program or other self-help program in the community;
  • Behaviour modification through knowledge, awareness and personal evaluation.

We encourage clients to develop healthy relationships by acquiring skills in:

• • Identifying their feelings;
  • Identifying needs and how to meet them in a healthy manner;
  • Resolving conflict and improving communication;
  • Taking responsibility when needed and letting go of responsibility when it is not appropriate.

We encourage clients to develop a healthy support network in the community by:

• • Establishing support through sponsorship affiliated with a Twelve-Step program or other self-help groups;
  • Establishing ongoing counselling support through Alberta Health Services and/or other professionals;
  • Creating relationships in the community which encourage sober social and recreational activities.
