Program Description: The Peer Support and Wellness Center (also known as The Wellness Center) provides services to walk-in adults, eighteen years of age and older, who have been diagnosed with a serious mental illness, may also have a co-occurring substance use disorder, and have demonstrated progress in their recovery. The Wellness Center assists individuals in their personal growth and development, and in minimizing the stigma associated with their mental health conditions. Activities are designed to encourage and empower members to seek interests and passions outside of the adult system of care, and offer a pathway for full integration back into the community.
Services include, but are not limited to, group and individual activities, classes and workshops, indoor recreation and community involvement. The program also encourages creation and maintenance of an outdoor garden, health and well-being, and relationship building. Assistance is also offered with employment readiness, job searching, educational opportunities, setting employment and educational goals, identifying volunteer or paid employment opportunities.
