The B.C. Borstal Association, through the direct service of Dick Bell-Irving CBRF, provides life skills development workshops for men on conditional release. The workshops include teaching in areas such as: self-esteem and self worth recognition; personal hygiene; foodsafe, cooking and budget management; personal finance management; employment search and professional development; education training; and, lifestyle balance. Lifestyle balance is a critical component of our apporach. We believe that healing and recovery is fostered by growth in all the areas that make us whole. Towards this end, our resource at Dick Bell-Irving provides continuous opportunities for applied learning and personal growth in experiential ways.
We understand the needs of families and we develop programs, services and resources to help families. Because we're here to strengthen and support families and family-serving professionals in BC.
BCASLPA believes in the importance of providing treatment to individuals of all ages who may experience problems with their speech, language, hearing, voice, swallowing, stuttering, or social communication. We provide educational resources for those wishing to find out more about a wide range of speech-language and hearing disorders, and support advocacy efforts for continued access to these services. We can connect people who have communication disorders with highly trained, certified professionals across BC who can help.
