About the Program
Our Better Way program is a supportive space for individuals to openly discuss relationship challenges and learn practical skills that promote mutual respect and understanding. Facilitated by experienced professionals, sessions provide guidance on expressing emotions constructively, setting healthy boundaries, and fostering self-awareness. The program is free and open to anyone in the Cold Lake and Bonnyville area.
Separated but Inclusive Sessions
While men’s and women’s groups meet separately, both programs encourage participation from all who seek to understand themselves better and work towards healthier relationships. Couples are also welcome to join but will attend sessions individually.

Session Topics Include:
Group Values and Goals
Understanding respect, self-worth, and goal-setting.
Recognizing Triggers and Anger Management
Exploring root causes of anger and conflict.
Gender Roles & Cultural Beliefs
Examining societal influences on relationships.
Family History & Learned Behaviors
Reflecting on past influences.
Healing from Loss
Addressing grief and moving forward.
Assertiveness & Communication
Practicing clear, respectful self-expression.
Resolving Conflicts with Respect
Strategies for addressing and resolving differences.
Overcoming Shame and Building Confidence
Letting go of guilt and rebuilding self-esteem.

Is This Program Right for You?
Questions to Consider:
- Do you find it challenging to express your feelings without fear of retaliation?
- Have you or your partner exhibited controlling or possessive behaviours?
- Do arguments often leave you feeling overwhelmed or disrespected?
- Are there repeated conflicts that affect your children or others in your life?
- Are you ready to explore and change behaviours or beliefs that impact your relationships?
If you relate to any of these questions, A Better Way may offer the guidance and support needed to create a more harmonious home environment and foster self-respect.
