Wellness center clients report peer-led de-escalation and raise $1,272 for programs

Merced County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services Ongoing Planning Council · July 23, 2026

Summary

Council heard client success stories from the Wellness Center, including peer de-escalation, increased family visitation hours, education engagement and a $1,272 fundraiser to support future activities.

Tanya Riley delivered the consumer report for the Wellness Center, detailing several client success stories and peer-led supports. She described a situation where a client de-escalated an angry peer without staff intervention and noted a client who regained visitation hours with their children and began classes at Fresno State. "They raised $1,272.00," Tanya reported about a recent fundraiser to support future events.

Tanya said the DOR program is transitioning to Individual Placement and Support (IPS) and that initial training took place July 15–16. She also noted an upcoming client appreciation event on August 5 and a hot dog sale fundraiser on August 26 to engage staff and clients, and that the CAC committee elected a new vice chair but is seeking a recording secretary.
