As a response to the need of more consistent mental health support groups in Rancho Cucamonga, Healthy RC partnered with the
National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI)
Pomona Valley
to provide virtual community conversations called
Community Check-ins
.
We encourage people to grab a cup of tea, get comfortable at home, and log on to the
Community Check-in
safe space to share what’s on your mind.
The first check-in was held on June 1st from 6:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. and will continue the first Monday of every month. The purpose of this group is to share, listen, collaborate and learn from your fellow community members. NAMI Executive Director, James Curtis facilitates and guides the conversation so that people can find the right tools, resources, and strategies to practice self-care and wellness. June's conversation revolved around attendees sharing how each person finds support. Many shared that faith, meditation, calling up a friend, gardening, and cooking were some of the ways they cope with anxiety and stress. The next check-in is on
July 6th at 6:00 p.m.
and all are welcome!
