Women’s Programs

Stonegate CHC’s Women’s Program is designed to reach out to women of all ages in the community.  The Program offers women focused services and activities, and especially welcomes women who feel disadvantaged or isolated.  Our team provides individual counselling and advocacy, and facilitates group workshops and activities on topics of special interest for women.

Women's Wednesday Program

The Women’s Wednesday Program is a safe place for women to meet, network, learn, remain active and have fun!  Activities can include outings, physical exercise, healthy cooking and presentations by various health care professionals.

Please note, space is limited and referrals from Stonegate CHC healthcare providers and/or other staff are required in order to register and participate. A light lunch is served each week during the program and childcare and TTC tickets may be available upon request.

Women’s Wednesday Program runs every Wednesday from 12:30 - 2:30 p.m.  Please note that this is a closed group and is at capacity and unable to accommodate new members at this time.

Women's Friday Program

Are you socially isolated but not sure where to meet people? Are you looking to meet women in the community and forge new friendships? Are you interested in learning and new experiences? If you answered yes to these questions then this group is for you! Join Stonegate staff Jill and Sonia this fall for an opportunity to expand your social circle.

Women's Friday Program takes place every second Friday of the month from 12:30 - 2:30 pm.  Light Refreshments are provided.  Registration required, contact 416.231.7070 ext. 307 or email: health.promotion@stonegatechc.org

Please note: this group is for women who are not participating in an on-going group such as the Women’s Wednesday Program or the Spanish Speaking Women’s group.

Self-expression Groups

Self-expression, arts and physical activity are used as means to express feelings, relieve stress, discover personal strengths, and increase self-confidence and self-esteem.  Our groups offer a welcoming environment for participants to obtain information, meet other women with similar interests and express themselves.

Self-expression groups are usually offered 4 times a year for 8 or 10 week cycles, and can include the following:

• Art classes
• Aerobics classes
• Dance Classes
• Self-Esteem groups
• Creative Writing Classes

Spanish Speaking Women's Group

Participants of the Spanish Speaking Women’s group have the opportunity to meet, socialize and participate in a variety of activities such as informative and motivational chats, arts and crafts, mindfulness and relaxation sessions and more. The sessions are designed not only for born Spanish speaking ladies, but for women that have learned and/or are in the process of learning and want to practice their Spanish.

Space is limited and registration is required. For more information about dates and times, please contact Sonia De Martinez at 416.231.7070 ext. 239.
