Founded in 1995, WIND has become a vital extension of Daybreak’s services for current and former clients. The aim of the program is to provide a continuum of care for women who have moved into permanent housing. Weekly classes in cooking, art and drama are provided, as well as social and recreational activities. The community of WIND provides an opportunity for women to connect with each other. The program is designed to be client-motivated, enabling the participants to enjoy a sense of ownership and empowerment.
