The Well-Come Centre for Human Potential
A growing number of women are working towards improving the quality of life for themselves and their children. Many have lived within a cycle of violence and poverty and need on-going support to end that cycle. With support in the form of individual and group counseling, women learn how to empower themselves and discover a wider range of choices.
Who We Are
