Most of the workshops and programs are available to anyone who is interested, regardless of age. However, we recognize that some programs can be more effective if tailored to the particular needs of a group of people. We have programs specifically geared toward the needs of a) families with school-age children, b) pregnant women, c) youth of all ages, and d) those in the second half of life.

The Well is a ministry of Westminster Presbyterian Church, but our workshop teachers and programmatic leaders come from a variety of backgrounds and share a wide base of experience.

Everyone who serves in a leadership position with The Well is trained and (where appropriate) licensed or certified in their area of leadership.
