Confidence Clinic
The UCAN Confidence Clinic is a self-sufficiency program for men and women, 16 - 60+, offering ten-week Life and Career Planning sessions. The courses offer training in self-exploration of values and goal setting, and introduces various skills for solution-focused decision-making, parenting, teamwork, anger management, career exploration and job search skills. The teaching methods assist students in building self-esteem, assertiveness and communication skills. The skills learned in this program reduce dependency on unhealthy relationships, poor choices, public assistance, and increase self-reliance, self-confidence and self-esteem. GED preparation and basic computer classes are also offered to students who attend the Life and Career Planning Classes.
Confidence Clinic sessions follow the same schedule as Umpqua Community College. Participants are required to attend an orientation and then attend a one-on-one interview with Clinic staff prior to acceptance to the program. Orientations are held approximately 2 weeks before the session begins.
To reserve a spot at the next orientation call the Confidence Clinic anytime Monday through Thursday at (541) 672-5392 between 8:00am and 5:00pm. Once the orientation date has been established, you will receive a flyer in the mail. The flyer will contain the dates and times for orientation. It is not a requirement to reserve a spot at the orientation. It is, however, a requirement that you attend orientation if you want to be considered for the Confidence Clinic program.
Two Life and Career Planning Classes and one class for GED/Academic Skills Review for Women are held during the day - call for times and days.
One Life and Career Planning Class and one class for GED/Academic Skills Review for Men are held in the late afternoon to evening - call for times and days.
Computer Classes and GED/Academic Skills Review classes are offered only to those enrolled in the Life and Career Planning classes.
