This picture was taken earlier at Wings of Hope 4 Mile Walk. The walk is sponsored by MHAST and the hope of this event is to create more awareness around the struggles of mental health, su***de and addiction. This is one of the butterflies that was released honoring a loved one who has been lost to su***de or addiction. Remember you are not alone. If you are struggling and need support, please reach out to the MHAST Warm Line at 607-240-7291 or to the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline via call or text at 988.

I know this is a delayed thank you, but I would like to thank Church in the Wild and all the volunteers who came out and made this meditation garden possible. Guest and Staff have both enjoyed the new garden. We at MHAST would like to thank you!!

Happy July!! We had a busy June at Our House and look forward to what July has in store. Last month guests and Our House team members planted a container garden and did some landscaping in the back yard as a wellness activity. We planted: peas, peppers, tomatoes, variety of lettuce, squash and a couple of other plants. The guests have been working hard keeping the garden going and have enjoyed watching the plants grow. I will post updates periodically on how the garden is doing.
Also, Sammy's tank was changed and for July I choose a patriotic theme due to Monday being 4th of July. Can you find Sammy in the one picture?

I would like to introduce our therapy fish Sammy. As you see Sammy's tank has evolved a few times. Sammy likes to hide. We here at Our House like to play where is Sammy hiding today. Starting this month Sammy's tank will have a theme and the theme will change every month. This month Sammy’s tank is in support of Pride Month. What will Sammy’s tank theme be for July? Any guesses?

The pandemic has been long, and caregivers and front-line workers are feeling the strain. Our House can be a good place to rest, recharge and get on the path to wellness.

Our House has a space upstairs for guests to explore the connection between art and healing. We believe that wellness doesn't look "one way" and that self expression can lead to healing.
