Women's Personal Growth

Enhance your quality of life, develop your potential, gain insight and practise self-care. If you dream of a better future, this is the place to begin. Our Women's Personal Growth Program includes formal and informal activities for developing and supporting self-discovery and personal growth in all areas of your life.

In this 12-week group you will learn to:

  • reclaim your wisdom and strength;
  • understand relationship dynamics;
  • explore healthy and unhealthy boundaries;
  • define personal rights and responsibilities;
  • improve communication and conflict resolution skills;
  • develop effective coping and relaxation strategies.

The Program runs in the Spring and Fall at the SOS Community Services Centre in Parksville, at 245 West Hirst Ave. The cost is $5 per person per session. The rest of the costs are subsidized by SOS.
