What is the NSSEA’s Project?

This non-profit educational corporation offers materials, information, and workshops to aid in the development of self-esteem. These resource materials are available at the Health Quest Center, Wolfville, Nova Scotia. This service is free to the community and resources are available on an on-going basis

Goal

To promote healthy self-worth in individuals

Resources: books, workbooks, tapes, videos, workshops etc and are presently housed at the Health Quest Center

Project Objectives:

• To be able to offer available material in the development of self-esteem to educational, social service, health agencies, religious organizations, correctional settings in order to help toward the improvement of an individual’s self concept and feeling of worth, thus, improving their own health
• To work together with other existing community agencies in the hope of establishing similar goals toward the enhancing of self-esteem and general good health i.e. The Health Quest Center, and the Nova Scotia Department of Mental Health (Mental Health Unit)
• To become fully committed to the enhancing and developing of high self-esteem within all areas of our community
• To be able to distribute materials which teach the methods and principles of building self-esteem, self-sufficiency, and independence throughout education, correction, and health agencies within our community
• To be equipped to assist in the training of teachers, administrators, and counsellors in the various methods and principles involved in developing a positive self-esteem
• To sponsor seminars, workshops, and conferences for all the helping professions in the various communities; particularly Kings, Hants, and Annapolis. To be able to “ talk about” self-esteem to children in local schools about the importance of self-esteem and to find out what the schools are doing in this respect

• Our project would meet the needs of adolescents who might be students, inmates, mental health patients, abused women, or any number of people within our community who suffer from low self-esteem
• Everyone in the community will benefit from this project: the teaching as well as the people being taught
• These objectives hopefully are met each time someone is helped with free resources available at the Health Quest Center or attends a workshop

• Mission is to offer material and information in order to aid in the development of self worth through a number of different settings; such as education, medical, correctional etc
