CURRENT WORKSHOPS:

This is a ten week (sometimes 9 depending on class size) program which is designed to help carers learn the skills which will help them become caregivers rather than caretakers. Each week a different topic is explored: self awareness, validation of feelings, acceptance of what is not in your control, challenging expectations, releasing guilt, forgiveness of self or others, self-esteem, growth & goals. All potential participants need to have at least one session with the family counsellor to establish if they are ready to embark on such an in-depth self awareness program.
