Sometimes, we need a little encouragement in life.

Much like physical rehabilitation may be necessary to restore function and mobility after an injury or surgery, psychiatric rehabilitation (psych rehab) can help individuals diagnosed with a severe mental illness regain community function and well-being.

Psych Rehab (or 'Group,' as we sometimes call it) is a voluntary, non-clinical program (no referral needed) that helps adults (18+ years of age) develop skills and access resources to succeed in living, working, learning, and social environments.

Interested in connecting with peers who share similar mental health concerns in our Psych Rehab program? Give us a call or visit our website.

Today, we celebrate the close of Carnival with Mardi Gras, also known as Fat Tuesday!

As with many celebrations, Mardi Gras is accompanied by multiple indulgences. But remember, you can still enjoy the festivities and not compromise your sobriety.

Here are a few tips to help you stay in recovery mode:
1. Keep with your routine - Attend meetings, reach out to your sponsor and or counselor, continue medications, and manage your stress.

2. Be prepared - Bring your own non-alcoholic drinks and snacks to celebrations.

3. Plan your exit strategy - Know when to say when. Plan ahead.

4. Trust your instincts - Like your exit strategy, know when it's time to change your scenery or company you're keeping.

5. Reach out for help - There is no shame. It's OK to reach out for help if you need it.

Call us. We will help you.

Did you know that CGC offers a partial-day adult hospitalization program (PHP) for mental health consumers living in Indiana or the surrounding area?

What is a partial-day adult hospitalization program? Think of it as a step-down program for those transitioning from inpatient psychiatric admission to outpatient care. Or suppose you are struggling to manage a diagnosed mental health disorder and need more care outside of outpatient therapy; PHP may be a good fit for your needs.

Our CGC team, including therapists, psychiatrists, and at times case managers, work with each consumer to identify individualized treatment needs and goals through an in-person group therapy model.

Let us know if you feel our partial-day adult hospitalization program might be the best "next step" for you or someone you love. Reach out to our Intake Dept to begin the registration process or request an evaluation on our website https://thecgc.com/contact-8.

We stepped away from our everyday personas and revisited our 12-year-old selves today with a Valentine's Day card exchange. 🩷

The Indiana and DuBois Centers got in the spirit by decorating their card boxes and delivering hand-selected Valentine's cards to friends and coworkers.

It was a blast! We might add that we have some incredibly creative team members! Did you see those card boxes?!?!

How are you celebrating Valentine's Day?
