Pathways FOR-U - will help promote recovery in your life by increasing knowledge/education, finding satisfactory work/volunteer activities, developing meaningful relationships with others, achieving intimacy/enhancing sexuality, attaining higher levels of wellness and exploring spirituality.

Intentional Peer Support (IPS) - IPS is trauma-informed, and is focused on developing healthy relationships. IPS evolved as a response to needing mental health options which were not focused on diagnoses and 'what's wrong' (with an emphasis on building relationships and skills to enable people to work through 'crisis' without resorting to hospitals or other institutional options). Developed by Shery Mead.

Self-Esteem 101 - was developed by FOR-U to explore things that contribute or take away from our self-esteem. Topics include: Self-Worth, Self-Image, Self-Fulfilling Prophecy, Confidence, Negative/Positive Self-Talk, Spirituality and many others.

Healthy Relationships 101 - has been developed by FOR-U to explore how to recognize, achieve and maintain healthy relationships with other people and the world around us. Join us and let's figure out the mystery of the so-called "healthy" relationship together!
