Changing Male Conversations Update

On Wednesday, March 2, 2016, Ron Kelly,  New Leaf Program Director and Don Gunton, Counsellor/Co-facilitator, started the first in-school sessions of the Changing Male Conversations Pilot Project at West Pictou Consolidated School.

We are currently working with all the grade 7 males totaling 41 to date.  We have chosen to work with them in three separate groups with each group lasting 1 hour.  The young men seemed to be very open and willing to take part in this project.  

The first sessions were a lot of fun and we are very much looking forward to the second session will is happening today where we will begin talking about healthy relationships. Thanks again to the United Way of Pictou County for their support in making this project happen, to West Pictou Consolidated School for all their work in making this possible and to the young males who are participating.
