Welcome to West County Community Services - Russian River Empowerment Center Calendar

RREC Activity Calendar

Art play
Instead of a group, we keep art supplies available at all times. Use what you would like. Be mindful of not touching the work of others without permission and also make sure you clean up after you are finished with your own work. IF at any time you want to process it with us, let us know.

Coping With PTSD with Jess
PTSD is a normal reaction to very abnormal circumstances. Find out about how PTSD affects the brain and body and how to cope with it’s effects. We will also talk about how to heal. Even though it makes a mark on your brain, it is possible to heal from PTSD.

Creative Expression with Patrick
Bring whatever is up for you and we will support each other in our growth and understanding using writing, art, poetry, and any other ways of expressing what is going on inside. There are more ways of healing than just talking.

I Want To Learn About…
There are a lot of topics that we get curious about. Some are related to mental health, and some aren’t. If there is a topic you want to talk about then let us know and we will do a little research and see what we can find out. Lets have some lively discussions about things that you are curious about.

Lunch Club
Come share and cook simple, delicious and healthy food recipes. Then we will enjoy eating together!

Members Meeting

Non-violent Communication (NVC)
Non-violent Communication, or also known as Compassionate Communication, helps you learn and practice tools to determine what you need, how you feel, how to ask for what you need, and learn how to truly see others from a different, more empathetic viewpoint. This has been a popular group and we can really see how its impacting the relationships and interactions at the Center.

Stress Management with Patrick
We will look at how everyone copes with stress and difficult feelings. We will talk about coping mechanisms for stress. Patrick teaches some basic coping mechanisms, including journaling, art, exercise, meditation, and many more.

Social Time
Come enjoy board games, movies, and other fun activities. Come relax at the end of the week!

Soul Work with Jess
Come join us in discussions and writing about the journey of the soul. We talk about a lot of things like beliefs, community, gifts, values and choices, deciding what we believe in, how to find comfort in knowing we are not alone, being aware of our surroundings, learning how to meditate and cultivate an inner observer, etc. Its an eclectic group that goes where the members want to go. This is not a group about religion.

Women’s Support Group with Sheridith
Women coming together to bond and explore what its like to be in the company of women.
