Big thanks to Pathway to Care and Recovery and especially their awesome director, Melissa Breckenridge, for providing a safe, welcoming space for the AIMS Mobile Van. Seriously, this kind of partnership is how real access happens. 🙌

As we roll into 2026, the AIMS Mobile Van will be on the move, continuing to offer immediate access to medications like buprenorphine and Vivitrol, plus a Recovery Specialist to help with all the wraparound resources (because recovery doesn’t happen in a vacuum).

Support Through the Season: Our Virtual Mental Health IOP Is Here

If you or someone you support is seeking structure, connection, and evidence-based care during this season, Bloom Mental Health’s all-virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is here to help.

Offered entirely online and meeting three times weekly (Mon/Wed/Thurs, 9:30 AM–12:30 PM), our 12-week IOP provides a supportive group environment designed to strengthen coping skills, reduce distress, and build emotional resilience through the holidays and beyond.

🌟 Why an IOP During the Holidays?

This season often brings up:
• Heightened anxiety or depression
• Increased pressure to “hold it all together”
• Grief, loneliness, or complex family interactions
• Disrupted routines that make coping harder

Bloom Mental Health, a product of JADE Wellness Center and licensed by OMHSAS, utilizes the Unified Protocol (UP), a proven, transdiagnostic treatment model focused on managing intense emotions and developing lifelong skills.

Participants learn how to:
✔ Manage emotions effectively
✔ Reduce distress and avoidance
✔ Strengthen coping strategies
✔ Build resilience and balance in daily life

Group Focus Areas
🌿 Emotion regulation & distress tolerance
🧘 Mindfulness & present-moment awareness
🤝 Building social support
🛡 Trauma-informed stress coping
💙 Self-compassion & identity development
