A safe place where women come to support each other.

Women’s Support Group provides an opportunity for women to debrief about their week, receive support with interpersonal issues, learn about healthy relationships, taking care of self, and recognizing boundaries.

Facilitated by a skilled professional, such as a therapist, social worker, or crisis intervention worker, the group is flexible to the participants’ needs in order to help them develop skills and resiliency in facing life’s challenges.
Who can attend Women’s Support Group?

This is a support group for women in the Grande Prairie region who are experiencing difficulties in their lives. Pace uses an inclusive definition of woman, that includes trans and gender-queer women. This is an open group and does not require that you be a client of Pace.

What can be expected at Group meetings?

This group has a psycho-educational component. Using a traditional method of group sharing by moving through the circle in a clockwise direction, women are invited to introduce themselves, speak to their lives and circumstances, and express any concerns or issues they may be facing. Topics for group discussion may be chosen based on specific requests from members of the group, or they may be based on themes that emerge based on group participation. The facilitator may provide information, education, and resources to the group around each chosen topic.

Tuesdays 6:30PM– 8:30PM at the Pace office

Please use glass doors on west side of building

This is a free drop-in service. No referrals, registration or ongoing commitment is required.

This workshop will provide you with a strong baseline on how to intervene and help individuals who are in crisis. You will look at what grief is, and how someone can come out the other side of grief, and grow. You will explore grief and stress caused by a one-time event, or a series of events, and look at coping with different individuals’ personalities, and how they may handle emotions, such as grief, differently. Finally, you will learn Crisis Intervention theories, from both lecture and experiential format, with a chance to apply and practice these skills in a classroom setting. You will walk away with the knowledge and baseline strategies to communicate with and help someone who is in crisis. (10.5hrs)

Facilitated by: Jacquie Aitken, BA, BSW, RSW, Executive Director of Pace
