Launched in June 2018, Skills for Change offers Women Connecting with Women (WCW) crisis counselling and an educational support services program. By supporting and empowering newcomer women, WCW improves psychological and physical well-being, provides life skills and referrals to community services, and promotes adjustment to life in Canada. Qualified staff provide intersectional, anti-oppression, client-centred individual counselling, workshops and support groups.
Learning Outcomes:
- How the trauma experienced by service users affects outcomes;
- How wellness/self-care support services result in improved program outcomes;
- How agencies can work collaboratively to address service gaps
