#givingtuesday is a week away + we’re celebrating by highlighting Cara Michaels, one of our two incredible YOB interns! Cara co-facilitates our weekly Youth Operational Board meetings at the Drop-In Center. When Cara is not at YOB you will find her rollerblading, writing, or perfecting her martial arts skills. Go Cara!
New: Parent Support Group at RSYP
RSYP is hosting two ongoing groups to help parents support teens and young adults. These bilingual groups, led by Jaime Cooper, our new Parent Group Facilitator, are specifically designed for parents who live in South County and have children between the ages of 13 and 25 who use substances.
Group learning is based on the Invitation to Change (ITC) approach created by CMC:Foundation for
Change. The approach provides perspectives and skills to help you encourage your loved one towards recovery while increasing your own wellbeing. To find out about ITC visit:
https://cmcffc.org/our-approach
Weekly in-person meetings will be held at the Drop-in Center at 60 Bridge Street every Monday beginning October 18th from 6:30 to 8:00 pm. Participants will be required to wear masks in the building.
Online meetings will occur every Wednesday on Zoom beginning October 20th from 6:30 to 7:30 pm. Email jaime@rsyp.org for the link.
Come to either or both meetings at any point – whenever works for you, and for as long as it’s helpful!
Take a look at this amazing find from the archives!
In the early 2000’s an intergenerational group of women came together to create the Body Project. The goal was to address body issues through the art making process. Their process was planned and executed by many of the young artists involved.
