ADDITIONAL INFORMATION :

·    The 10-week workshop is a comprehensive and intensive learning experience for families. Prior to enrolling in the workshop, families will be asked to complete a check list of tasks that would be nice to have in place before starting the workshop – this is not a however requirement and we will be able to work on these things during the workshop as well.  

·    This workshop is meant for one individual and one plan at a time. If you have more than one family requiring a housing plan, please reach out to Natalie Jones at the email below.  

·    This workshop is not meant for families who are in crisis. Please contact your local DSO if you are experiencing changes in your situation which has left your families in a vulnerable position.
