12:15pm-1:15pm Peer Check-in- Open group discussion followed by mindfulness practices & education. This and all of our group meetings are FREE.

1:30pm-3:00pm Threads Of Resilience- Where fashion design moves beyond mere aesthetics to become a therapeutic practice, offering a holistic approach to healing that addresses emotional, psychological, and social well-being. Each week we learn about different aspects of the wonderful world of textile arts and then try it together as a group. Sometimes we have guest artists come give demonstrations and share their art and process. All materials are provided free thanks to SAARA Of Virginia and DBHDS!

4:45pm-5:45pm Action Planning For Prevention and Recovery (APPR)/Advance Directives Planning-APPR is meant to empower individuals to develop self-help skills, strategies, and action plans for personal wellness and recovery. It's a free, self-directed program based on the work of Mary Ellen Copeland (WRAP creator). We work out of the APPR workbook, which is provided for free from DBHDS and Vocal Virginia. After we have helped participants complete their APPR workbook, we then move onto assisting participants to create an Advance Directive . 

An advance directive is a legal document that allows you to make your healthcare and treatment wishes known in advance, in case you are unable to communicate them yourself.

But currently we offer one every Wednesday from 1:30pm-3:00pm called Threads Of Resilience. Fashion design for mental health! This workshop series has been going so well that we've decided to extend it for another 6 weeks starting November 19th 2025!
