Day-to-Day Support
Whether it is providing outreach and treatment with our mobile disciplinary team, welcoming those in need to a hot meal, or providing recreational activities to increase socialization, we have multiple services that provide day-to-day support for those in recovery.
RiseWell Community Services’ After-Hours Social Program operates two peer-supported, self-help community centers for adults with mental illness. Those attending have the option to join in various activities, drop in, have a meal, and perhaps meet new friends! The program is designed to offer participants an opportunity to socialize and have fun in a safe, informal, and relaxed setting. Participants can visit as often as they like at either or our two locations. Free of charge, of course.
