WMass Recovery Learning Community Moves to North Street03:46PM / Wednesday, September 02, 2009
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The Western Mass Recovery Learning Community has moved to 152 North St., Suite 115, and is marking the expansion and those involved in making it happen with a relocation celebration on Thursday, Sept. 10, from 4 to 7 p.m.
Light snacks will be served and tours of the new facility will be given. The public is invited to attend. This event will mark the beginning of operations at the new Resource Connection Center.
The center boasts a computer bank of four units available for members, an ever-expanding library, a community room, an audio/visual center ready for movies/educational activities and even some Wii action. These spaces will host yoga, art workshops, music and educational and training seminars, representing the open and inclusive atmosphere upon which the community is built.
The Western Mass RLC supports individuals who have mental health diagnoses, who have experienced extreme states or who are trauma survivors in finding their own paths to recovery within the communities of their choice by offering trauma-informed peer supports and through the development of a regional peer network.
The first Resource Connection Center opened in Holyoke in late July 2007. Soon after, centers were established in Greenfield, Springfield and Pittsfield, in St. Stephen's Church.
There is no membership process or eligibility requirements and individuals are considered to be part of the community simply by coming or calling in to a center or taking part in one of the workshops or events.
For more information or a calendar of upcoming events, contact the center at 413-236-5888. |
