Personal Development

Personal Development

Personal development at Acorn Family Place supports individuals and families to meet their goals related to system and resource navigation, employment and education and managing day-to-day tasks or challenges.

This program provides individual, couple and family supports as well as group support through Personal Development workshops. As a part of our family resource centre, Personal Development bridges the gap between the needs of families and existing community services, both within the centre and the wider community.

Becoming involved with the Personal Development Facilitator:

  • Make an appointment to meet the Personal Development Facilitator.
  • They will ask you about your situation and listen to your story. You’ll let them know what changes you want to make.
  • They will work with you in making your plan for change.
  • You will be provided support to meet your goals and carry out your plan safely and with accountability.
  • They will support you in finding the information and community resources that you need.
  • You decide how long you want to work with this program – there is no time-limit.

What you can access through the Personal Development Facilitator:

  • Listening ear – Regular meetings in-person or over the phone.
  • Accompaniment – Upon your request, the Personal Development Facilitator can accompany you to court, meetings with lawyers, CFS, EIA, health care professionals, etc., to ensure that both parties are hearing one another and to facilitate communication.
  • Documentation – Support in understanding and organizing paperwork/documentation. We can also write letters with you or on your behalf, when advocacy and references are requested.
  • System Navigation – Support in navigating and understanding systemic procedures so that you have the information that you need. This includes communication with people who work within the system in order to facilitate communication.
  • Supported Referrals – Connecting you to community resources, programs and supports.
  • Group Connections – We draw together groups of key individuals for you, and help to create a support system that can help you meet your goals.

For further information about the Personal Development program, please contact Alescha at (431) 557-7884 or personaldevelopment@acornfamilyplace.ca
