Workshops, Training & Support Groups
As needs are expressed to us through the women in our programs and our referral lines, we respond with workshops, tailored training sessions and support groups. In addition to a divorce support group, we offer computer training on a regular basis as well as other skill- based sessions including financial management, career planning, conflict resolution and negotiation skills.
"Job ready" Computer Training is a popular offering. These classes are almost impossible to find on the Cape, and when they do exist, classes are financially out of reach for our clients. We continue to seek individuals to teach these courses.
A regular Divorce Support Group is offered by WE CAN, making use of volunteer leaders (trained therapists or counselors) who facilitate 8-week groups of 8-12 women. We work to ensure that a support group is in place at all times.
From Surviving to Thriving, is a 6-week program designed to bring women out from behind what holds them back, focus on what is important for them and their family, understand what can help them get and stay balanced and to identify available opportunities. This workshop is conducted by Professional Coach Maggie French and is offered periodically by WE CAN .
Refurbished laptops are also available to WE CAN clients in need, through a special collaboration with the Geek Girls organization, In the past 12 months, the collaboration between Geek Girls and WE CAN helped an aspiring playwright; a children's book author; a woman returning to college; and a woman with her finances in disarray, by donating computers to them.
