Support Groups
For Teens – Building Teen Wellness – this is a community group
run a few times a year (basically, whenever they have a group of interested teens) – it’s 6 weeks, and they talk about healthy
relationships, self-esteem and other things like that. If interested
teens or parents can call
the shelter and ask for Vikki.
For Children – Children's Support Group – runs from September to June, kids can attend whether or not they have been attached to
shelter, but the subjects are based on that education around family violence, safety planning, and other kid oriented
activities. This is an open group, so they will take kids at any time in the
year as long as there is space in the group. If
interested they can call Bev or Katrina at the shelter.
Courage to
Change – offered once in fall and once in spring, this is an
11 week educational program that helps women recognize healthy boundaries, signs and types of abuse and how to break the cycle of
abuse. Women can call the shelter to register
(there is also a men’s group of the same name offered through Medicine Hat
Family Services, it’s a partnership)
Journey to Hope and Healing –
offered once in fall and once in spring, this is a 14 week group for
women who are working on healing themselves after abuse. Topics such as guilt,
shame and blame, forgiveness and the process of change are discussed, as well as
grief, self-esteem and healthy relationships. Women are also offered one to one
support during this process
For moms and kids – Growing
Together – this group is offered to mom and child – mom goes to an
adult group and child goes to a children's group (learn the same material as
appropriate to their age) and then the last 15 minutes of group mom and child
come together for an attachment exercise. Mom’s can call Katrina at the shelter
for more info.
One to One –
if a man or woman who is experiencing or has
experienced abuse needs one on one support but group
is not available, they can choose to see an Outreach worker. A referral can be
called in to Nattie at the shelter and Nattie would assign it to an Outreach
worker. We highly suggest one to ones before group just because sometimes women
aren’t quite ready to share in a group setting and thrive more in a one on
one.

The pain clinic is a modern specialist practice of managing chronic
diseases which generate pain complaints in patients.
Physician Referral Process - Full consultative request
with accompanying records. Complete comprehensive referrals will get your
patient in the que sooner. This request would be for a patient seeking a consult
and stabilization for a complex case.
Minor consultative request for specific procedures (ex. marijuana RX
or a senior needing join relief) - no consult required. When referring if you
specify these patients will not be placed on the full consultative wait list and
are treated quicker.
Patients can self refer for: cold laser for pain,
prolo-therapy, focused shock wave, veins (sclerotheray, ultrasound, endo-venous
laser therapy & foam sclerotherapy), stocking fitters & prescribers,
smoking cessation laser acupuncture & platelet rich plasma for joint
injection or tendonitis
