This 10-week program for young women helps them learn to identify the role of anger and its use/misuse. Clients learn to recognize different “styles” of anger and concrete strategies to effectively manage their own anger. Group members also learn more about their own personal and community resources.

In our Courthouse office (adjacent to Courtroom #5), volunteers provide information and assistance to women and girls attending court proceedings. Our volunteer court workers also attend Court by request and accompany women who must appear for court.

Our new workshop breaks down the decision-making process and help youth learn how to make safer and healthier choices in times of struggle. This 10-week program has been developed to show new ways of assessing subjects like finances, safety, relationships, communication, assertiveness, time and stress management and many others! Participants will develop new coping skills as well as will learn to reflect on their current patterns of behaviour.
