June 2021

Hedco Wellness Housing Resource Center

See you on Tuesday!

Morning Check-In And Mindfulness Activity - Discuss current well-being, including successes & challenges, and utilize mindful meditation as a

way of reducing mental health related symptoms and experiences.

Know Your Resources - Rotating resource group—Employment Options, Benefits Assistance, Food & Shelter Availability, Budgeting, and

more.

Wellness Self-Management Group - A recovery-oriented, curriculum-based practice designed to help adults with serious mental health prob-

lems make informed decisions and take action to manage symptoms and improve their quality of life. WSM is an adaptation of the illness man-

agement and recovery program, a nationally recognized best practice.

Taming Trauma-Referencing symptoms of trauma, psychiatrist Daniel Siegel says, “You’ve got to name it to tame it.” The Taming Trauma

group provides participates an opportunity to learn about the thoughts, body sensations, and behaviors that occur when they are re-

experiencing past trauma. Obtaining a greater awareness of their symptoms can provide participants more freedom to choose how they re-

spond to the people and events in their current lives.

Anger Management-A combined cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) approach that employs relaxation, cognitive, and communication skills

interventions. Participants draw on these different interventions to develop individualized anger control plans.

Setting Boundaries-The Setting Boundaries group provides participates an opportunity to learn what boundaries are and why they are so im-

portant. Sometimes, we allow the people in our lives to cross our personal boundaries. Other times, we unintentionally cross other people’s

boundaries. When we don’t honor our inner voice that reflects our values, we tend to feel greater everyday stress. Learn how to listen to your

inner voice, and how to kindly but firmly establish personal boundaries.

Guided Meditation- The Guided Meditation group provides participates a space to clear their minds and release stress. Participants will learn

how to align body and mind through gaining more awareness in the moment. Through the guidance of our care coordinator, participants will

ground themselves and slow breath, skills they can take into their everyday lives.

Daily Reflection– a supported symptom check out to gauge how you are feeling at the end of the day
