SUMMARY:Forest First Fridays: A Nature-Based Recovery and Wellness Program
DESCRIPTION:Bonnyvale has partnered with Turning Point of Windham County and the Windham Foundation to offer a yearlong\, nature-based wellness pilot supporting individuals in recovery. We'll be offering individuals the chance to gather monthly on BEEC’s campus for guided sessions that blend outdoor skills\, nature exploration\, and peer support. Through hands-on activities and shared experiences in nature\, this program fosters resilience\, connection\, and healthy habits. \nIn our fifth program in this series\, we will be focused on plant and animal identification\, outdoor first aid\, and outdoor recovery support. \n \nTurning Point of Windham County (TPWC) is a local recovery center located in downtown Brattleboro. TPWC's core mission is to support and improve the lives of our neighbors who are experiencing substance use and addiction\, at any stage of their recovery. They do this through peer-led social connection\, community education\, counseling groups\, recovery support\, outreach\, and advocacy. \n  \n
