The Sisters of Support (SOS) recovery program is designed to provide women
with an integrated, ground-breaking gender-specific system of support that
bridges the treatment of alcoholism and addictive behaviors with the
reconnecting of self, family, workplace, and community. The women and mentors
share feelings and experiences, offer support and encouragement to one another,
and explore options and choices for change in a safe environment.
The SOS program…
draws on the expertise of peers and professionals from the social service and
substance abuse fields;
is community based, bringing services to women where they live
centers around the woman, so that each service plan is built to meet each
woman’s individual needs and circumstances
addresses immediate crisis needs first, then long-term goals
encourages each women to set her own goals and build upon her strengths
unlocks the woman’s potential to maximize their own performance by helping
them to learn what is right for them rather than telling them what to do
allows the women to view themselves in terms of their future potential, not
their past performance; and
ensures that a woman’s care continues across all areas of her life.
Job Readiness Training - The curriculum consists of the following components:
orientation, goal-setting and improving communication skills, interview
techniques and active listening, effective resume writing, employability, time
management, first day on the job, proper attire, getting along with supervisors
and co-workers, appropriate behavior on the job, and being flexible.
Personal Development Workshops – This unique series of exciting and
interactive workshops provide an invaluable opportunity to build self-esteem,
enhance communication skills, understand and manage feelings, and provide each
participant with a strong sense of self. Life Skills Workshops will cover topics
such as Nutrition, Parenting, Home & Family Living and Healthy Relationships.
