Many peo- ple are not in need of intensive counselling, but in fact, could benefit from temporary intervention. Crises develop throughout a person’s lifespan, some unpredictable and difficult to deal with alone. Based on her experience, Lauiinda is convinced at various stages in their lives, people need a supportive, resourceful listener at an affordable cost. Individuals may tend to keep problems hidden from friends and relatives for different reasons. Clients fear being judged, some feel incompetent or fear unknown repercussions. They could have their feelings minimized, be told what to feel or what actions to take. Often traditional social service agencies have waiting lists of three months or more, for some, this is too long to wait. Soundingboard provides the immediate solution to people finding themselves in these situations.

Understanding Self-Esteem seminars begin March let “It’s not that self-esteem is everything. It’s just that there is nothing without it.” Many have been “downsized” and “outplaced” from jobs they’ve held responsibly for years. Others have experienced the painful reali- ty of divorce. They’re left feeling hopeless, helpless, and doubting loria Steinam once said, their self-worth. Because a good sense of self is essential in helping people cope with the changes in their lives, the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) will offer Understanding Self-Esteem begin- ning Monday, March let, in Burlington. Major life changes and crises can leave people feeling shaken and unsure of themselves, accord- ing to Peggy Grall, program direc- tor for support services at CMHA. Feeling confident and secure in who you are is the best defense against the depression and apathy - that can plague people as they meet these challenges, she said. Understanding Self Esteem is a new six-week educational and experiential series which will be offered at Knox Presbyterian’r Church in Burlington. It will run '7 Mondays, at 7:30 p.m., from March let to May 2nd. The fee is $65 and pre-registration is essen- tial. - The series begins with partici- .. pants completing a personal self- esteem inventory. Subsequent subjects include ' looking at self-limiting and irra- tional belief systems, assessing . communication patterns, setting ‘7 more effective goals, overcoming destructive habits, and learning to ‘ reflect your authentic self.
