Just checked the YWCA site and from what I have seen Encore seems to be a dimishing program in all bar NSW .Probably funding is the issue but a great pity as think it has meant a lot to many in recove...
I completed the Encore program in Sydney CBD last year and was told that to run the program they need a specific number of new members to sign up each time. I was asked if I would be willing to re-enrol to add to numbers once they had reached their quota as they also have to have specific numbers to get their guest speakers to attend. I'm sure that this has an impact on running their courses.
