FAQ
If you would like more details, please reach out at info@theironwoodproject.ca
How much does it cost?
The Ironwood Project does not charge participants to attend peer support groups or workshops.
How does The Ironwood Project make money?
Ironwood is a not for profit organization. All of our programming is run by volunteers and we are financed through the generous donations of people in our community.
Is there an All Women's Survivor Group?
Currently there is an All Women's Survivor Group running, as well as a Coed Survivor Group running weekly. Groups are made up to best serve the needs of the participants that enroll for each season's sessions.
When do groups run?
Ironwood schedules our programming by season/quarters. We are in program for two months and then we take a month off. During our month off from weekly group, we host workshops, art nights, community events and hold our host and board meetings. This gives our volunteers a chance to reset before the next group of sessions.
