The Skill Building program’s objective is to serve persons facing the challenges of mental health illness and/or addictions by creating opportunities for them to recover, tap into their own resources and improve their general life skills. We do so by creating environments that support recovery, self-efficacy, and empowerment, as well as assisting in improving each person’s daily life.
We reach this goal by offering groups, workshops, classes and support groups for our clients. Some of them are ongoing, others are offered a few times a year.
