The Bradford Women’s+ Group celebrates its first anniversary on Jan. 16 – a full year of providing a safe space for women+ to come together, for personal development and empowerment.

The group’s mission statement is simple: “To empower women+ through personal development, education and building community.” To that end, Bradford Women’s+ Group has organized free monthly meetings and special sessions on topics that in 2019 ranged from yoga and Zumba, to the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.

The topic on Jan 16 is 'Tips and Tools for Stress Management' - a workshop, led by facilitator Sue Carr, that will help participants gain a better understanding of the many ways in which stress can impact their lives, identify 'early warning signs' for stress-related problems, and cope with stress. 

The workshop takes place from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Zima Room of the BWG Public Library and Cultural Centre, 425 Holland St. W. (doors open at 6:15 p.m.), and is open to all women+ ages 18 and older. 

The session is free, but space is limited and pre-registration is recommended. Register online by clicking here, or contact the Group at 905-251-9926 or [email protected], or see BradfordWomensGroup on facebook.com - and check out the video recapping the events and achievements of 2019. 

Bradford Women’s+ Group is also looking for facilitators, for sessions on mental health, mindfulness, body acceptance and healthy relationships in 2020.

“As we reflect on our first year, we couldn’t be more thrilled about our achievements and growth,” say the organizers. “We are so grateful for your support – and can’t wait to see where 2020 takes us!”
