Through our Health Education and Resource Programs, we offer information and learning opportunities for community groups, schools, service providers and individuals on a wide range of health topics.

You’ve attended prenatal classes or pre-adoption workshops and now baby is home. What’s next?
Coping with Change workshops are designed to help you understand the everyday changes you might experience when introducing a baby into your life.
Coping with Change is a 5-part workshop that is also offered as individual education sessions to community groups of parents. Some topic themes are:
Professional development seminars designed to provide health and social service providers with knowledge and skills to help normalize a woman’s experience after giving birth or adopting a baby.
An interactive presentation for ESL/EAL groups on the basics of birth control, preventing sexually transmitted infections, pap tests, and being empowered to make good choices for your sexual health.

Women’s Health Clinic has been providing education, intervention and treatment related to body image, weight preoccupation and disordered eating for over 20 years. Our Weight Preoccupation Community Education Program promotes healthy body-image and tools for eating disorder prevention.
Our volunteer speakers encourage discussion and questions to facilitate a participatory learning environment. Speakers are available for day or evening presentations. Presentations are usually an hour long but we can be flexible to the needs of your group.
We do request an honorarium to help cover the costs of training and reproductions of materials. However, we will still provide the service if your group is unable to make a donation. This program is partially funded by the United Way.
To arrange a volunteer speaking engagement, or for more information, please contact Angie at 947-2422, ext. 114.
Trained volunteers are available to provide the following workshops to schools and community groups throughout Winnipeg.
