Health And Wellness Practitioner Description
The North Shore Women’s Centre works to improve the social, economic, legal and political status of women, and to encourage and support self-empowerment by acting as a resource and catalyst for change, from feminist perspectives. The organization runs a drop-in resource centre and offers a wide range of programs and services. We serve a wide range of individuals from diverse backgrounds across the community. Volunteer positions are open to those who identify as women or have experienced gender-based oppression.
Job Summary
Our Health and Wellness Program provides a broad range of services, including private appointments and drop-in classes. The program operates from a holistic health perspective, meaning the care of the whole person: body, mind, and spirit.
Clients who access this program experience significant stress in their lives, often due to multiple and compounding forms of oppression and cannot afford the high cost of holistic health treatments and classes. We offer treatment sessions with a variety of holistic health care practitioners. Women who meet our low-income requirements and live on the North Shore can register for up to 6, one hour sessions over the course of six months. All sessions are provided by licensed practitioners on a volunteer basis.
