Regina HELP is often delivered through community schools, health centres and family literacy projects. Essential components of the program are life skills and job preparation. Currently there is one full time staff person and one part time staff person working in the program. The program is offered weekly for either 8, 12 or 20 weeks. Each session is about 2 hours long and involves hands on teaching.

Aboriginal Kokums (grandmothers) are involved in the cooking/sharing program. This program is successful because it is provided in a supportive and comfortable setting.
