Careforce Lifekeys Courses

Search for Life | Woman to Woman | Man to Man | Door of Hope | Valiant Man | Making Marriage Better

Lifekeys courses are designed to meet the needs of hurting people in today's society. Through a system of small support groups, people will be able to share together in an environment of unconditional love, acceptance and confidentiality - all ingredients necessary for recovery.

These programs have been developed by Careforce Lifekeys, Careforce Church, Mount Evelyn, Victoria, whose members are qualified in the areas of social work, psychology, teaching and theology. All have had extensive experience in their particular fields. The materials used have been tested extensively in other similar support programs and these have been adapted to suit our particular needs. The curriculum includes looking at behavioural, thinking, feeling and spiritual aspects of recovery.

Admission to the group is through submission of an application form and interview. Acceptance is subject to places available.
