Music Therapy Idea for This Monday's Meeting

Submitted by sageoaklyptus on Fri, 03/20/2009 - 1:01am

For Monday's meeting, I was thinking it would be interesting to bring wellness/crisis music mixes.  Like burning a cd of good music we use for calming, soothing, and grounding our heightened states.  Maybe another for invigorating our soul when feeling lethargic, down, or stuck.  For those who don't have cd-burning capabilities, bring a list!

I am really looking forward to hearing everyone's wellness/crisis plan and adopting good ideas to weave into mine.

Recap on Wednesday March 18th meeting!

Submitted by focuslost on Thu, 03/19/2009 - 4:38am

Group meeting agenda! This is just an overview of tonights discussion.  I did not add personal information, or topics of discussion that had to do with opinions or personal mental health history. This is also just a first time rough draft to get things out in a bulletin format.  Untill we get better at navigating the website!  Thanks for your patience. =)
