COURAGE TO CHANGE

Getting Started with Courage to Change is a five week program that meets on every Tuesday evening at 7pm at 125 Olde Greenwich, Suite 100, Fredericksburg, VA.   

If you have additional questions,  please contact the office at (540) 479-3021.

Our Courage to Change group mentorship training starts the course "Getting Started".  Sessions meet on Tuesday evenings from 7:00pm to 8:30pm at 125 Olde Greenwich, Suite 100, Fredericksburg, VA.  We will have some light snacks and beverages while we discuss how this program can assist individuals in transitioning from "dependent on or stuck in the system" to "independently living your best life".   Dress casual and prepare to have some fun and win a door prize. 

 

Through the course of this program, individuals will participate in casual group discussions, journaling exercises, and mentorship.  The Introductory course is Getting Started. All recipients of services are required to complete this five-week course which includes a comprehensive assessment that guides the next step to the process of change. The introductory course includes the following themes:

  • Setting Goals and Getting Started

  • Self-Assessment

  • Visualizing the Future

  • Challenges to Success

  • Proven Strategies

  • Putting It All Together​
