We are happy to share with you that Second Chance Counseling Center, LLC will be taking over the WRC A Woman’s Anger Management and Empowerment (AWARE) program July 14, 2022. Alice Gawlinski will be the new facilitator of the AWARE program. Alice, who holds a Bachelors’ Degree in Psychology and is currently obtaining a Masters’ Degree in Social Work, has been facilitating a program for juvenile female offenders in Cheboygan for the past year, and is also an intern level psychotherapist. Alice is passionate about educating and providing services to people who face issues related to substance abuse, domestic violence, and mental health.
Here are some important details about the transition of the program:
- The transition will officially take place July 14, 2022, and the WRC will continue to provide as-needed support to Second Chance.
- Second Chance’s programming has been approved by the WRC and aligns with the Duluth Model that is currently being used.
- Second Chance will continue to facilitate the program in Antrim, Benzie, Grand Traverse, Kalkaska, and Leelanau counties virtually. They will determine when to move to a hybrid model that will include virtual and in-person groups.
- The current fee structure will be maintained for all existing WRC clients; with a new fee structure (increasing attendance fee $5 per session) being implemented for all new clients.
The WRC started the AWARE program with the support of many of you in the legal and law enforcement professions, will continue to be a part of the fabric of our community. And we are excited that it will continue to grow and develop at Second Chance Counseling Center LLC.
