The Take Charge Program

TAKE CHARGE Program
When you need a little support.

TAKE CHARGE is based on Problem Management Plus (PM+), an evidence-based program developed by the World Health Organization (WHO). It is a structured system currently used internationally with great success. The program is designed to help adults (18+) manage stress, strengthen coping skills, and address everyday challenges. It also aims to assist participants in reducing problems identified as most important to them.
