Academy
The Academy is a full-day rehabilitation program for adults with psychiatric disabilities. The goal is to assist individuals in avoiding hospitalization, maintaining personal independence, and increasing community participation. Program hours are from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm Monday through Friday; participants choose a schedule which meets their needs.
The program offers opportunities to learn new skills, socialize, develop a support system, become familiar with community resources, and improve communication skills. Participants join in such groups as group therapy, self-help, art, cooking, aerobic exercise, communication, symptom management, smoking cessation, and drug/alcohol education.
Participants can also provide valuable service to their community by volunteering to assemble bulk mailings for over 20 non-profit agencies such as American Cancer Society, Hospice Caring Project, and United Way.
Program volunteers can also grow vegetables, herbs, and flowers in the Community Connection garden, and learn to dry flowers and create everlasting flower arrangements. Garden workers may also receive training in landscaping and yard cleanup.
