Parents with Courage - 7 week program
Parents with Courage is a seven session

well as enhanced skills for parenting. This program is for families with
older primary and high school aged children and seeks to equip parents
as well as provide support for those who are currently facing
challenges. The sessions are highly practical with insight and
strategies for intact, blended and single parent families.
One of the goals of Parents with Courage is to
provide parents with a flexible approach to parenting. This will enable

Woman to Woman - 10 week program
Woman to Woman encourages women to take a close look at their relationships and their world. Every woman carries with her the strengths and weaknesses of her background into family, work and friendships. This program is designed to give insight into family dynamics, personal attributes, beliefs and values and provides strategies for change. It encourages women to embrace life and invest in a better future.
Man to Man - 10 week program
This program focuses on the man and his relationships. It is
common for men to feel isolated and unsupported, especially when our
culture has trained guys that they should be able to keep it all
together. Men today need help with hassles and hurts and an opportunity
to find encouragement and support from other men.
This program explores past and present relationships and examines the
effects of family background on the way a man thinks, feels and behaves.
The themes covered include family dynamics, handling emotions, dealing
with conflict, finding real intimacy, examining addictive behaviour.
Participants gain personal insight together with strategies and skills
for living life more successfully.
Search for Life - 10 week program
Human beings are spectacular, puzzling, brilliant and broken. Why do so
many contradictions exist in our lives?
Everyone needs to understand the power of our internal cry for acceptance, value and belonging.
Everyone needs to understand the cause of our most basic struggles and
find a solution to them.
Without insight and answers to the human dilemma individuals resort to
inadequate and destructive patterns of behaviour to address feelings of
low self esteem, inadequacy, emptiness and insecurity. This program
identifies the cause of so many human tensions and introduces
participants to the healing power of truth in a caring and safe
environment.
