Individuals with any mental or behavioral health concerns are welcome.
This is an adults-only group. There is no fee and pre-registration is encouraged, but not required.

- The behavioral health professional may provide an activity for participants to engage in, if time allows.
- Ends with a check-out question, typically “what is something you are looking forward to this week?”
