Calgary Counselling Centre believes that people
have the strength and resources to find their own solutions to
life’s struggles and to live fulfilling lives.
In the fall of 1999, Calgary Counselling Centre developed a
program in response to the needs of those in our community with
low self-concept, self-esteem, and self-identity.
The program is designed to help people (over the age of 18)
achieve a positive, stronger sense of self, make healthy life
choices and work toward their full potential.
During 10 afternoon or evening sessions (two hours each),
participants build a healthy self-concept by exploring the following themes:
- Self Identity
- Beliefs
- Healthy Relationships
- Boundaries
- Anger
- Aggression
- Assertiveness
- Family Relations
- Depression
- Coping Strategies
- Body Image
- Self-care
Through the program clients learn to:
- Become more comfortable with their own identity
- Obtain a positive and stronger sense of self
- Increase recognition and acceptance of their
own positive qualities and the qualities they wish to change
- Initiate healthy life choices
- Discover and employ personal resources, skills and abilities in their life
- Experience a positive and nurturing connection with
others through validation of life experiences
- Motivate themselves to take charge of their lives and look toward the future
