Casey North Community Information and Support Service project worker Vicki Hutton promotes Keeping It Together. 24149
A FREE program focussing on anger management and self-esteem is now available for women in the City of Casey.
The Casey North Community Information and Support Service aims to assist families through the Keeping it Together program, addressing the pressures that lead to a relationship breakdown.
With an emphasis on strengthening relationships, the six-week educational support program discusses assertiveness strategies, positive conflict resolution, healthy communication, understanding and coping with anger, improving self-esteem and self-care, and preventing social isolation.
Centre manager Susan Magee dubbed the program, which began in April, a “brilliant success”.
Since opening the centre in 1997, the staff at the Casey North Community Information and Support Service identified family breakdown as one of the major problems they were dealing with.
Project worker Vicki Hutton said all of the participants involved with the program had experienced positive results.
A Keeping It Together guide was also available, providing information on support services in the local community.
Springfield Ward councillor Lorraine Wreford allocated $2500 from her ward funds to go towards the program, which she said “deserved federal funding”.
