About this service
The AWARE program at BWSS helps women move out of the cycle of trauma and violence through employment. Our office in Vancouver supports women to identify their skills, interests and to develop personal and career goals. AWARE helps women alleviate isolation, learn and grow together in a classroom setting. Importantly women will learn how to strengthen their own personal and community support network. AWARE is flexible and accessible. Women are often navigating many demands on their time and energy. Our continuous intake process helps women find what she requires for her individual situation.
Women who want to enter the AWARE program do not need a formal referral. Women who are survivors of violence and abuse, underemployed (working less than 10 hours a week), or unemployed can be self-referred to participate in the AWARE program.
Who can use it?
Women with a history of trauma or abuse
