Volunteer professionals, other agency representatives and SWR staff facilitate the program. PEP includes classes/support groups, evaluations and a library. Classes/groups are offered on topics such as, domestic violence education and support, self-esteem, healthy relationships, substance abuse, boundary setting, art, journaling and employment resources.

Group attendance is mandatory. Each class must be able to stand on its own as the shelter population can change from day to day. There is a library with self-help videos and books available to the residents, volunteer facilitators and staff. The facilitators use the library materials to help prepare for their groups/classes and the residents are welcome to check out materials to enhance their learning from the groups/classes.

If you are interested in becoming a PEP facilitator, please contact our office manager at 530.244.0118 ext. 201.
