RANDOLPH, NJ — The Women’s Center at County College of Morris (CCM) and the Madison Area YMCA announce the first evening offering of this acclaimed 12-week program to help women with developing life-enhancing skills while empowering them in a supportive group environment.

“Empowerment!” is an interactive program with engaging techniques that help promote methods for creating a positive self-concept, a coaching model that offers accountability, and ways to energize personal and professional growth, tap into leadership skills and more. The course is facilitated by its creator, Jeanne Rohach, a Certified Women's Empowerment Coach and Consultant.

An information session will be held on Tuesday, March 29, from 6-8 p.m. at the Madison Area YMCA’s F.M. Kirby Children’s Center, 54 East Street, Madison NJ. The course is limited to 20 women, who will be selected by the Women’s Center. The program begins on Tuesday, April 5, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. and continues on successive Tuesdays at the same time through June 21. A light dinner will be available from 6-6:30 pm. The course is free for those selected for admission.

Rohach has more than a dozen years’ experience creating and facilitating workshops covering a wide range of topics related to self-management and proactive living. She is a graduate of the American Conservatory Theater.

“Jeanne is passionate about helping individuals in transition,” says Melissa Elias, director of the Women’s Center at CCM. “We’re excited to be able to make this powerful course available to the community in the evening and to be partnering with the Madison Area YMCA to reach our common goals of empowering individuals and transforming lives.”
