How this program helps you

  • It’s a scheduled, gender specific group so you have a safe space to explore issues with others who really understand where you are coming from.
  • It’s realistic. It doesn’t require you to never be angry, instead it focuses on identifying your triggers, setting boundaries, developing communications skills and asserting yourself so you are in control and can harness the positive aspects of anger.
  • It’s flexible and Participant-driven—program dates are set in line with Participant demand and content is adapted to meet group needs.
  • It puts you in touch with our counselling team who can help you access other services to support you in dealing with any other challenges you are facing.

Program Essentials

  • Small, gender specific groups
  • Two mornings (women’s group) or evenings (men’s group) a week for five weeks
  • Entry to the program is through a modified intake process where you will meet with our Intake Counsellor and complete a form with some basic personal information. This usually takes about an hour. You will need to make an appointment.
  • Administrative & program fees are on a sliding scale.

When You Contact Us

When you get in touch with us, our receptionist will ask you some questions and set up an appointment with an Intake Counsellor.

These appointments are available Monday to Friday and take about an hour. You will need to come to our office in downtown Winnipeg.

Don’t forget to bring your medical card, and try to be sober for at least 12 hours (or 48 hours if it’s meth).

At Your Intake Appointment

During your intake appointment, which might last an hour, you’ll meet with an Intake Counsellor. Your Counsellor will help you fill out some forms, and talk to you about your situation and needs. The Counsellor can also help with any urgent issues and connect you to more help if necessary.

Together, you will decide which is the right program for you.

Your Intake Counsellor will introduce you to your Program Counsellor. They will let you know when you can start.

Starting Your Program

On your first day, show up at the SRWC reception area on the 5th floor of 280 Smith Street at least 30 minutes before the group begins. Tell the front desk know it’s your first day.

Your Program Counsellor will give you a tour and explain how the group works, and what to expect. They’ll also get to know you a bit and make sure you feel comfortable here.

Reconnecting with Us

If have already participated in an SRWC program, and need more support, we’re always happy to welcome you back. If it is less than 3 months, you can re-join your group by letting your Counsellor know. If it has been more than 3 months since you last attended, you will need to call for an intake appointment before you can re-join the program. This is to make sure you get the support that fits best with where you are at right now.
