New programs
OUR TEAM HAS FOCUSED ON EXPANDING PROGRAMS TO PROVIDE CLIENTS WITH OPPORTUNITIES TO FIND GROUPS AND ACTIVITIES THAT ALIGN WITH THEIR NEEDS AND PERSONAL INTERESTS. FOR PALLIATIVE CLIENTS OUR TEAM INITIATED A PILOT PROJECT TO BRING REGULAR COMPASSIONATE SUPPORT FOR LONG TERM CARE RESIDENTS WHICH IS A SECTOR THAT IS CURRENTLY UNDERSERVED. FOR GRIEF CLIENTS TWO MULTI-WEEK SUPPORT GROUPS WERE REVAMPED TO PROVIDE COUNSELLOR LED SUPPORT MATERIAL AND WE HAVE ADDED FIVE NEW SINGLE SESSION WORKSHOPS. WORKSHOPS INCLUDE: TREE OF LIVE MEMORY BOX HEALING THROUGH ART WRITING AND A SPANISH WORKSHOP.
