Growing plants, locally sourced fresh produce, charming garden décor. . . Rudy’s Happy Patch Market continues to provide service with a smile on the campus of Perry Wellness Center, and customers return the favor with return visits and their own broad smiles.

Yes, we are shameless when it comes to the joys of Happy Patch. If you don’t believe us, just read our signs. Our latest “welcoming spot” is a permanent, stone flower bed in front of the market. It features colorful metal flowers, butterflies, and a “Welcome” sign. So consider yourself welcomed when you check out our spring market!

At Perry Wellness Center, arriving early on Monday provides a routine for easing into the new week. As the street gates are unlocked, people begin to wander the campus to catch up with friends over weekend happenings. Others make preparations for the day, especially during market time, when blooming plant displays are arranged to catch the eye of customers and bring a smile to the fact of everyone who enters Rudy’s Happy Patch Market.

In the photo below, peer Matthew Goldman stops to check out flower displays at the west entrance to the market.

Yesterday was St. Patrick’s Day, and Perry Wellness Center celebrated the occasion with a game guaranteed to offer good luck. “Fishing for Luck” sounds like the perfect name for players, whether they have Irish blood or not. Participants toss their “fishing” poles over a room divider and try to “catch” a prize.

Laurie Slaton and Kendarious Durham were among the peers who tried their hand at the game.

Spring is technically not arriving in Southwest Georgia until March 20 – but we know the signs of spring when we see them: The birds are chirping louder; temperatures are generally warmer (particularly this week); colors are definitely brighter. Spring blooms, in turn, draw a variety of pollinators, from bees to butterflies.“

I know it is spring when I see the blossom of flowers at home and on the Perry Wellness Center campus,” PWC founder and CEO Stuart Perry explains. “I don’t recall the full chronology of spring, but I know the signs.”

The photo here captures the marvel of nature with some of spring’s first signs on campus – a hungry bee and a generous daffodil.

As we prepare for spring at Perry Wellness Center, we do some final catch-up on a favorite winter celebration – Valentines Day.

We recently shared photos from the crowning of our King and Queen of Valentines Day. Now we share a celebration of our Valentine dance contest winners, dressed in colors for the occasion.

Left to right, they are: Sonya Mullins, Cornelius Ross, and Tamika Brown. Y’all rock!

Say what you will about the campus of Perry Wellness Center, but we are never drab! Color and creativity are on display year-round. We may be lauded most for our landscaping – much of it for sale at our market.

But the creative mind is always at work, and art instructor Phyllis Smith (pictured below with art classroom artists) helps interested peers learn or develop skills in various arts and crafts, displayed throughout the center’s buildings. Between art shows and seasonal market sales, the general public has frequent opportunities to check out local talent.

What’s red and pink and white all over, with hearts, flowers, and cherubs shooting arrows? If you’re on the campus of Perry Wellness Center, it must almost be Valentines Day. Each year, we hold a Valentines party for peers and staff, with all the above, including refreshments and décor.

Socialization and support are critical to mental health and/or substance abuse recovery, so we are both lighthearted and serious when we think of the relationships we treasure.

There’s been enough snow and rain flying through the air lately. Watch out for golden arrows instead, and grab a few chocolates while you’re at it!

In this last week of Substance Use Disorders Treatment Month, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), along with Perry Wellness Center, offers these recommendations for treatment and recovery through building treatment-friendly communities:

“Do you think someone in your life is struggling with substance use disorder? Are you looking for ways to help and support them but are not sure how or where to begin? Learn how to start the conversation with your loved ones, and find resources to help.”

“You don’t have to walk this journey alone. Peer-based recovery support & community centers connect people who get it—sharing stories, hope, and recovery. Don't be afraid to reach out for support. SAMHSA has resources to help.”

“Adding your voice to a recovery advocacy organization could help you find community that strengthens your recovery—and could help you play a role in strengthening someone else’s.”
