We have created an Amazon wish list for our Day Habilitation and Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) programs.

These programs work to support individuals living with serious mental health challenges. This list is comprised of items that will help us update our spaces, give clients more options to improve socialization, access to greater regulation and coping strategies, and other items used by clients to help offset any personal costs that may arise when serving clients in these programs. Every item, big or small, helps us meet people where they are and reminds them they're not alone.

Thank you for being part of our caring community!

All items will be shipped directly to the office. Please consider purchasing an item or two from our list!
