Wellness Center reports client successes, new peer support hire and local outings
Summary
The Wellness Center’s Consumer Advisory Committee reported multiple client success stories—employment, housing, program completions—and announced a part‑time Peer Support hire and a schedule of local outings for greater accessibility.
Diane Mejia, chapter chair of the Wellness Center’s Consumer Advisory Committee, described several recent client successes: a client who rebuilt income and secured a small studio, one who recertified in truck driving with employment lined up, three clients who graduated Seek and Safety on Feb. 3, and a client who moved from being unhoused into housing. Diane also recounted social activities including a January bowling outing and a movie night with about 20 participants.
Diane said the Wellness Center will focus more on local trips this year to increase participation and that a part‑time Peer Support staff member is scheduled to begin onboarding in March. Tonya Riley (staff) described that last year some trips were farther away (Monterey) and the change to local destinations aims to reduce transportation barriers for clients. The presentation underlined the center’s mix of social, vocational and recovery supports.
