• As a Client Sister who would like to lessen your sense of isolation by attending our sister socials to join a group of women who want to increase their connections with other women and to practice methods of self-care

Sistering is a volunteer program for women who have experienced trauma and/or oppression and are at a stage in their own healing process whereby they wish to give back by offering mentoring support to other women at an earlier stage.

There are several ways you can be involved in our program:

• As a Sister Mentor who would like to mentor a client or small group of clients
• As a Sister Volunteer who would like to volunteer at Catholic Family Services of Peel-Dufferin (CFSPD) with the Sistering Program by co-facilitating groups, doing advocacy, and volunteering in other Sistering initiatives
