Types of services proposed in our renewed program:
Using the new model and materials, we offered several successful group sessions, speaking engagements and organizational advice in 2021. These services were delivered to social service agencies, seniors’ centres and a place of worship.
In 2022, we will be offering several targeted open sessions to specific types of organizations. This year we will also work towards engaging more volunteers and gaining financial support for an Education Services Coordinator.
