April 2021 THE COMPASS CHRONICLE

Spring into Action

There are so many fun things happening at Compass this season! Let's check out some of the fun...

During spring break, students had the opportunity to participate in fun activities throughout the week! In this game students left their futures up to fate as they blindly chose a pair of crazy socks which correlated with a silly fortune.

Patients at our facility celebrated National Puppy Day with a Zoom call from Lyla, a therapy dog, who also showed off her tricks during the call! At our facility, we celebrate the role pets can play in our mental health.

Recently we enjoyed a "Sundae Fun Day" party! During the party, we celebrated our patients' positive behaviors and acknowledged the improvements that they are making in their mental health.

At Compass, we use art therapy to help teens express themselves.! Check out this beautiful piece that one of the patients completed last week!

Kids Corner

This year, patients at Compass celebrated Mardi Gras by decorating floats and having a parade around the facility! Which one is your favorite?

A Random Act of Kindness

The patients at Compass Intervention Center used hand-made signs to spread joy to our dietary staff! Some signs stated, “We love you to pieces” and “Love comes in all colors.” It was great seeing our patients participate in this random act of kindness and also seeing the smiles on our dietary staff’s faces.

Staff Spotlight Ms. Rondell is the Registrar for our Education Department. She enjoys seeing the success of students who complete our program. Thanks for all you do at our facility, Ms. Rondell!
