Project Transition: Project Transition has been around since 1971. It provides volunteer services for persons who are receiving mental health services. A mission statement includes the following sentence: "One principal difference between the 'mentally ill' and 'normal' members of the community is isolation..." Project Transition tries to relieve that isolation through group activities, providing a safe place for mentally ill individuals to have some social interactions. Some participants live with family members, some in group homes, and many live independently. We help with transportation for those who don't drive themselves. We meet most Tuesday afternoons (usually 1-3 p.m.) and enjoy a variety of activities: games, cards, cooking/eating, trips to parks/museums/recreational facilities, crafts, writing, conversation, and music. It's a relaxed and caring group made up of people who live in our community with help from Community Support and Treatment Services (CSTS). Join us regularly, or drive folk to and from, or come help with a single activity. We are always looking for community engagement.
