“Hearing Voices”

In this peer facilitated group we talk frankly and nonjudgmentally with one another about the experience of hearing voices. Together we share ideas, solutions, and goals. We are proud to be part of a network that stretches across 20 countries.

“Writing Your Way to Wellness”
Day/Time: Friday at 3:30-5:00p
Description: Writing Your Way to Wellness is a peer-led group using creative writing to cope with mental health and/or substance use challenges. We welcome those who enjoy writing and also those who have not written before. Included each week are various writing prompts accompanied by optional sharing. Come express yourself on the page and in an inviting, nonjudgmental community. Witnessing each other's creative words help us feel less alone. We believe every voice matters!
