Project Child Recovery session starts Friday

-

The YWCA’s Project Child Recovery (PCR) is a free support group for children ages six-12 who have experience­d a traumatic event or been exposed to family violence, grief, substance abuse, bullying, etc.

The next session of PCR starts Friday and runs every Friday from 1–3 p.m. for eight weeks.

In the session, children and teens learn skills to deal with what they’ve experience­d and work toward recovering their youth. Pre-registrati­on is required.

The groups are fun, imaginativ­e and full of discovery. Children and teens learn self-acceptance, coping strategies, safety planning, how to enhance their self-esteem and about their support systems.

The camps are facilitate­d by qualified profession­als.

Snacks are provided and transporta­tion can be arranged for those who may need it.

For more informatio­n, contact, Lorrie Wittke, PCR Facilitato­r, YWCA Lethbridge & District, at 403-3290088 or lwittke@ywcalethbr­idge.org.
