WCWRC Workshop Developer and Direct Client Support Provider

This project provides an opportunity for the student( myself) to develop casework skills by providing client-centred supports to newcomers including completing needs assessments and connecting them to appropriate services. By the end of the project, I will be expected to develop and facilitate workshop series for the community. The objective of the project aligns with my skill sets, personal experience and characteristics. I enjoy solving problems by using different tactics such as brainstorming and innovative thinking. In addition, my experience as a newcomer gives me the advantage of relating to the majority of newcomer women. This helps me to share my stories and experience with the women in order to connect and build trust. The workshop I will be expected to develop throughout the project’s lifecycle at the West Central Women’s Resource Center will remain with the organization to enhance the deliverability of their programs in the future.
