Wellness Drop-in Program
The Wellness Program is a didactic, instructional group program designed to enhance the wellness process that anyone can use to manage life. It is designed to provide tools to respond to daily changes such as sadness, stress, feeling bad, or experiencing challenges in managing past or current life events. The program helps to develop various coping techniques (toolkit) that can also assist anyone who is engaging in the counselling process.
The program consists of 90-minute sessions for 4-weeks covering topics such as:
§ Module 1: Sense of self
§ Module 2: Boundaries and communication
§ Module 3: Feelings, anxiety and stress
§ Module 4: Depression and anger
Given the continuous drop-in format of the program, new members can join at any time and therefore have the opportunity to engage in all sessions.
