They did introductions and welcome. Everyone had 4 sessions. In the morning we talked Power of Words and Labels. They showed a slide show of how words hurt us and not to use them. Next we talked budgeting and how to break down our money using a budget sheet. After a good lunch we talked ODSP and how they changed it.
