Summary: 
A training manual for women, written by the Vancouver Women's Health Collective (VWHC), as part of their Women's Reproductive Health Project. This manual provides information on facilitating workshops and health groups, as well as forming self-help support groups and conducting peer counselling. Specifically, the manual outlines workshop facilitation on four main topics: avoiding pregnancy, infertility, miscarriage, and periods. The manual outlines methods to help determine community health needs, and suggests different ways to publicize a workshop. It also includes community resources, useful books on facilitation and general health, and sexuality and sexual abuse.
