On Sunday, MARC TA’s Gergely and Broghan facilitated our regular cooking weekend cooking class for the extended care patients. The participating patients learned an authentic homemade chicken noodle soup recipe, while taking time to talk about budgeting, grocery shopping, batch cooking, and portioning and precooking. Patients learned the recipe and created the dish. With a low $25-$30 budget, the plan allowed patients to make enough soup for 7 day, getting 10 portions with leftovers.

These regular cooking classes help patients build important life skills that they learn to use while in care and are able to take with them once they leave treatment.

Two weeks ago, we welcomed local clinician Debbie Disney and SAJE for the first of two all staff trainings at MARC focusing on the treatment and support of patients that are neurodivergent or that have executive functioning issues. Today was the second round of our all staff trainings with SAJE. The first training focused on clinical, while today’s training focused more on non-clinical support and life skills development. SAJE is a local educational services practice that supports students, emerging adults, and adults with evidence-based programs for individuals on the autism spectrum, diagnosed with ADHD, or dealing with executive functioning challenges. These trainings better prepare our entire staff, from admissions to clinical to recovery support staff, in supporting MARC patients in our care who may be dealing with such challenges.
