SASHA clients may live in SASHA housing, or independently in the community, based on their assessed needs. Participation in SASHA programs is a requirement of ALL SASHA clients, regardless if where they live. Clients and SASHA staff develop an Individual Service Plan (ISP) that considers the client’s goals and needs, and programming is determined based on the ISP.

Groups

SASHA clients also participate in regular group sessions. Groups are determined by our clients, and have included:

• hoarding group (AKA organization group)

• men’s group

• chair yoga

• cultural group

• storytelling

• smudging

• mindfulness

Pet Therapy

We have two amazing house cats - Princess Polly Pepper, and Willy. Pet therapy reduces stress and improves moods, especially when clients struggle.

Community Programming

We believe that empowering our clients to confidently engage and interact with their larger community is important. This broadens their circle of supports, and reinforces that they are worthy, valuable members of their community.

SASHA staff support clients to access many therapeutic groups in the community. These have included:

• coffee social

• art of friendship

• circle of friends

• music group

• living sober

• limber up

• art group

• and more!

SASHA & Community Together

Recreation and Leisure Programs have included:

• movie nights

• bowling nights

• painting classes

• beading classes

• festivals

• visiting tourist attractions

• camping

• trips to other communities
