Change Process: (self-reported)

The overall change of a participant is generally determined by their willingness to learn, communicate and grow. Mentors are available to assist the women with practical skills, training and model how to build a healthy realtionship.

A successful process of change reflects empowering a woman with the basic skills she needs to develop herself and realize her worth. The Elizabeth Ann Seton Program is grounded in social justice, which promotes the dignity of each person. Mentors often break the chain of isolation and poverty as they witness women who have created healthy lives for themselves. The ultimate goal of the program is to create a relationship that allows both women to grow in their appreciation of each other and through this experience profit from their understanding of what it means to be a woman.
