In our San Diego Adult and Older Adult Mental Health System, tools like Roadmap to Recovery, DBT, Peer to Peer (NAMI), In Our Own Voice (NAMI) and Skills Training are available. In addition, clubhouses provide opportunities for fun, making friends, and learning how to use computers, or working towards finding a job etc. Additionally, there are supported employment programs for people who wish to develop a plan to return to work. These services are available in our system of care, but many other opportunities for fun and friendship exist in our community. Lots of information is available to you on the County Website at www.sdcounty.ca.gov at Network of Care.
........It is time to reach for the stars, to hope, to dream, and to create your wellness lifestyle. All of us who are on that journey of recovery are cheering you on! Recovery…it’s for YOU!
