I’m in Assertive Community Treatment and we have three groups a week. We have Wellness Group on Mondays that is outside usually by the biggest lake in the city for the six months of good weather we have and we go to the Wellness Center for the other six months of cold and snow. We also go mall walking when the Wellness Center is closed or if it’s raining during the six good months.
On Tuesday we have a group that was originally CBT but became coffee group where we go to Dunkin and get coffee and the group leader asks us questions. The group leader has her last day next Tuesday then we get someone new to ACT and she asked me yesterday what I wanted the new group to be and I said CBT and DBT.
We were having a Thursday group on substance abuse and mental illness but last year people stopped going so I haven’t been able to go to it because I was told we need more people.
ACT staff want ideas for groups we can do and so do I. One guy thought about starting a Dungeons and Dragons group. One woman wants to do a medication group and someone said there could be a crafts group.
TLDR Does anyone have any ideas for new groups we could do? I can’t think of anything else we could do.
Our town is big, but there are free game days in our city, where you meet and play different board games. It’s very wholesome and we take our kids there to play d&d and Pokémon, etc. people who love board games go.
Thanks, those are all good ideas! We play Skip-Bo sometimes at coffee group and we did yoga once a few years ago for one of the groups. Only me and one other guy were interested and he couldn’t keep doing the poses that the woman in the video did.
That’s good. That’s what Wellness Group is I think. In the winter we go to the Wellness Center and we can walk the track, play basketball and volleyball and use the gym and exercise equipment.
