Mentoring

The Mentoring Program consists of peer mental health consumers and/or family members who have experience dealing with the effects of mental illness. They model that treatment works, recovery is possible, there is hope and people are not alone.  Mentors listen and empathize, connect people to valuable education and support programs and to other community resources. Mentors empower others to move them forward along the path of recovery.

Mentors provide:

  • A listening ear
  • Problem solving ideas
  • Free education and support classes
  • Aid in building support networks
  • Advocacy for consumers and families

Mentors help empower others to set goals, rebuild their lives, and live their dreams.

We are here to help YOU!!

"I have finally found a place to go where people accept me for who I am and don't judge me." --Andrea

Hearts & Minds Tip of the Week

Yoga is a great way to unite your mind and body through different poses and controlled breathing. Practicing yoga for just five or 10 minutes a day can help you relax and feel more at peace with yourself. Make sure to start slow and be in control of your body to avoid injury. Yoga is not about being perfect, but respecting what your body tells you. If you can’t fully achieve a yoga pose, its okay, do what feels right for you. Please read the following general practice guidelines before starting a yoga practice.You can also try Tai Chi or breathing exercises.

Starting yoga can be as simple as following an instructional video, like this one on basic poses for beginners. You can also look online to find a class near you.
