For the start of 2012, Community Access' East Village Access (EVA) has lots of great new courses and activities to keep the winter doldrums at bay.
Here's a quick guide to what's coming up...
New Courses & Groups:
The new EVA calendar includes more course offerings than ever before--with new sessions that explore Spirituality, Coping with Music, Mindfulness, and much else besides! Plus, we'll continue to offer counseling groups for those who want to explore a wide range of issues in even greater depth.
Legal Workshops:
Open to all Community Access residents and EVA PROS participants, our popular Legal Workshops address issues such as: what is the constitution all about; what are your rights in housing; how to get help with your credit report; and other issues decided by the group. Join us every Thursday, from 2-3 p.m. Several wonderful guest speakers are lined up for the next few weeks, so don't miss out!
How to De-Stress with Yoga:
Every Tuesday in January, from 2.30-4 p.m., EVA will be hosting yoga classes with expert teacher Jenna Ritter. Jenna has her own yoga instructional video, Six Weeks to Wellness, and her fun, lively classes will focus on helping you de-stress with healthier ways to move, breathe, and live.
Hearing Voices Workshop:
On the second Thursday of each month, beginning January 12, from 3.30-5 p.m., EVA will be running a new Hearing Voices support group, in which group members will get the chance to share their experiences of "auditory hallucinations." Come and learn from the insights of others: your voices may be unique, but you are not alone.
CEO Roundtable:
Starting on January 20, Community Access CEO Steve Coe will join us at EVA to answer your questions and concerns. Steve has been involved with Community Access since 1979, so come prepared to ask him everything you always wanted to know about the organization that EVA is a part of.
Specialized Vocational Services:
Every Monday and Thursday at EVA, we offer a variety of specialized vocational services--including focused workshops on computer skills, and how to do an effective job search. Let us know what kind of services you're looking for: either we can make an appointment for you, or you can just drop by and ask for more information.
Monthly Movie Afternoon:
Continuing every other Friday at 2:30 p.m., look forward to the fun, education, and insight of EVA's Monthly Movie Afternoon, a feel-good mix of classic films, popcorn, conversation, and relaxation.
Creative Writing Workshop:
Continuing every Monday at 2 p.m. All are welcome!
