*Women's Wellness Project*

Vancouver  Friends For Life Society is excited to have launched its newest
initiative which caters to women who have lived experience with HIV/AIDS or
Hep C. With the generous support from the Provincial Health Services
Authority, VFFL's new Women's Wellness and Leadership Project will provide
better access to wellness and education for Women with lived experience.
Women all across the province, now have the opportunity to apply for
individual grants of up to $2500 in wellness and education grants to
support in gaining access to better services, knowledge and a greater
community of support. This unique model and first of this scale, empowers
women to take charge of their own wellness journey, while supporting
network building and lasting change. With separate and individual deadlines
starting in March 2019 and into February 2020, the initiative ensures 12
months of flexible access for women in every part of British Columbia.

If you  are interested in this project, or know of someone who may be
intestested please visit our  website

Creative Expression Work with Melanie Rivers
You do not need to be an artist or good at drawing to participate. The goal
is to come explore personal expression in a safe and supportive space.

Various art supplies will be provided for you, so you can use whatever your
heart chooses. However, if there is something you enjoy using, such as a
favourite pencil set or set of brushes, please feel free to bring them
along.

Some things you will be offered to explore are listed below, but not
limited to these. We will spend some time getting to know each other and
then follow what art forms call! Please note that no level of skill is
required, just a curiosity.

Visual art making such as painting, clay work, charcoal, pastels
Poetry, storytelling and telling your personal story
Movement and breath, sound & music
*Sessions start Thursday, January 17th*

*BOOKING POLICY*

In response to feedback and suggestions from client-members, and in an
effort to improve access to the practitioners, the following guidelines
have been put into place as of April 1, 2018.

Booking limits will now be enforced on a month-by-month basis. This will
make it easier for both client-members and staff to keep track of
appointment numbers. This change will also see an increase in overall
yearly booking limits to 72 per client-member.

1. You may book up to two sessions with any one practitioner per calendar
month, except when otherwise stated. (Monday, Tuesday and Thursday massage
therapy sessions are considered three different practitioners).

2. You may hold up to a total of six sessions for all practitioners per
calendar month, except when otherwise stated. In case of house recess, one
appointment will be deducted from your limit for every week of closure. For
instance, an August closure could last two weeks, meaning two appointments
would be deducted from your allotment. Client-members who refer new
client-members, volunteers or practitioners to the house, or who volunteer
themselves, are eligible for an increase in their monthly booking limit.
Contact info at vancouverfriendsforlife.ca for more information.

3. In case of a breach of booking limits, client-members will, in the first
instance, be informed through email and be asked to cancel the number of
appointments necessary to ensure equal distribution of appointments. Upon
further breaches, Friends for Life may cancel client-member appointments
and/or suspend them from booking any further appointments for a period.

4. When a client-member books an appointment, appointment emails are sent
to the client-member and to the practitioner. Client-members are expected
to confirm their upcoming appointments through a further confirmation by
email and text by BookedIn in the days before the appointment. If you do
not receive a confirmation email, please contact
info at vancouverfriendsforlife.ca.

5. Client-members are expected to show up for every appointment they have
booked and must also be at the house at least ten minutes prior to the
appointment. Late arrivals and no-shows are noted in BookedIn and a number
of late or no-show appointments may result in cancellation of future
bookings and/or suspension of booking privileges.

6. Client-members may sign up to be on the cancellation list for a
practitioner (Click here
<https://friendsforlife.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=21612d99d1f3008d07ea8f1fb&id=31a0a4874b&e=7a68f439b0>).
Appointments made through the cancellation list do not count towards the
monthly appointment limit of 6.

7. Under no circumstances should sessions be transferred to another
client-member. If cancellation is unavoidable, client-members must send an
email to info at vancouverfriendsforlife.ca immediately. Under most
circumstances, a cancellation within a 24-hour period of your session will
be considered a ‘no show’. When you cancel, you may offer the name of
someone else who may be interested in filling your appointment.

8. When booking appointments, you accept these terms.

We thank you for your cooperation, as we work towards a fair and equitable
system for everyone.
