The Sisters of Support (SOS) recovery program is designed to provide women with an integrated, ground-
breaking gender-specific system of support that bridges the treatment of alcoholism and addictive behaviors
with the reconnecting of self, family, workplace, and community. The women and mentors share feelings and
experiences, offer support and encouragement to one another, and explore options and choices for change in
environment.
The SOS program…
draws on the expertise of peers and professionals from the social service and substance abuse fields;
is community based, bringing services to women where they live
centers around the woman, so that each service plan is built to meet each woman’s individual needs and
circumstances
addresses immediate crisis needs first, then long-term goals
encourages each women to set her own goals and build upon her strengths
unlocks the woman’s potential to maximize their own performance by helping them to learn what is right for
them rather than telling them what to do
allows the women to view themselves in terms of their future potential, not their past performance; and
ensures that a woman’s care continues across all areas of her life.
Job Readiness Training - The curriculum consists of the following components: orientation, goal-setting and
improving communication skills, interview techniques and active listening, effective resume writing,
employability, time management, first day on the job, proper attire, getting along with supervisors and co-
workers, appropriate behavior on the job, and being flexible.
Personal Development Workshops – This unique series of exciting and interactive workshops provide an
invaluable opportunity to build self-esteem, enhance communication skills, understand and manage feelings,
and provide each participant with a strong sense of self. Life Skills Workshops will cover topics such as
Nutrition, Parenting, Home & Family Living and Healthy Relationships.
