This will affect the Senior division as we assess the client seeking meals. Nursing: Cindy D, RN. has completed the Diabetes Prevention Program training in December.

This is a nine-week program offered twice a week for new clients as opposed to waiting for an individual therapist to become available; WRAP group started last week. This is a consumer run group in which clients learn from someone who has their own mental health struggles to identify their "Wellness Tools" (things that can help them to feel better and stay well)
