Suit Yourself
Designed to empower women to successfully restart their life.
About Suit Yourself
The Suit Yourself program provides complimentary work and professional attire while being a support for women in our community facing upcoming court appearances or job interviews.
Similar programs exist outside of Lanark County but are inaccessible for our clients. To better accommodate women, and to reduce the transportation barrier, LCIHCS has designed the program to assist clients in our communities.
Everyone feels better and more confident when they look good. When you look good it helps alleviate some of the stress of a court appearance or a job interview.
The Program Has Three Components:
- Private, one-on-one styling sessions with trained consultants. These styling sessions assist clients to select professional clothing and accessories.
- Assistance with resume preparation, conducting mock interviews and coaching
- A series of information videos and handouts are available free of charge on our website at www.lcih.org.
“I will be forever grateful for the “Suit Yourself Program”. The program helped inspire me, gave me the confidence I was so in need of, created an amazing resume for me and filled me with hope for my future. This experience has been life-altering in the most positive way.
I feel so blessed to have been introduced to this program, and I‘m convinced that women who are helped to see themselves in a different light, to love themselves for who they are, to finally get the encouragement and compassion that was so lacking in their life situations, are empowered to be the beautiful soul they were meant to be.”
“LCIHCS’s organizational mission is based on the belief that all women and their children have the right to live a life free of sexual and domestic violence. We provide protection, support, safer options, and advocacy towards the elimination of violence against women”.
