The Retreat portion of the program is required.  It is where accepted participants receive their seminar training, which includes, financial counseling, coping with change, self-esteem assessment, stress management and household assistance.  All seminars are taught by our licensed certified therapists. 

During the Retreat, participants also get to participate in being refreshed – another required portion of The FACE Program.  In this time, participants will have a facial, manicure or the choice of  a body massage.  FACE believes that  in order to instill the tools needed to start fresh, participants also have to be refreshed physically.  The stress that has built up in the faces, necks, arms, shoulders, and body needs to be worked out prior to starting the seminar portion.  This will relax the participants and prepare them for the upcoming seminars - allowing them to receive the maximum from these sessions.

The Retreat will span over a minimal of two to three days and during this time, participants will be restricted to enjoying the beautiful grounds of the facility.  You will be required to stay overnight for these minimum days – a babysitter will be necessary while you are away during this time.  There will be no children permitted to arrive or join the participants – participants will not be permitted to participate if this policy is violated.

The entire day will be used to become acquainted with other participants, to enjoy the grounds and to select your room accommodations.  Reading material will be available in all of the rooms to enjoy while on the retreat or to take home.  A seminar will be held on revitalization. This first day will be surrounded around the mothers being refreshed with scheduled massages.
This day will be devoted to learning the resources that are going to aid in building up the participants with their self-esteem, financial counseling, building up strategies to cope with change and handling stress management.  Socialization is also encouraged with the other participants.
On this final day of the Retreat participants will be able to be a part of an Questions and Answers (Q&A) session.  This will be a wonderful and unique opportunity to gain additional resolutions to particular topics and situations which may not have been addressed within the seminars held.
