Before Covid arrived, a drop-in center for persons with mental health issues met monthly in the Mission Center. Many of you prepared and served a meal, and we provided a safe place for social interaction and cultural enrichment to this segment of the population that is often overlooked. Covid failed to kill the program off, and in fact, we have made a successful transition to the virtual world. With a grant from the National Alliance on Mental Illness, NC affiliate, we have been presenting a series called the 8 Dimensions of Wellness.

On Saturday, Dec. 4 at 2 PM we will celebrate our return to live programs with a rousing Drum Circle, presented by Piedmont Music Therapy. In keeping with the theme, this program will emphasize the importance of the Emotional Dimension towards our well-being. If you are looking for a fun and relaxing release from holiday stress, this program is for you! This Drum Circle is appropriate for all ages and stations in life, and it is free! We ask that you register online at www.providencepl.org by December 1 so we can have enough chairs and percussion instruments for all. Contact us at info@providencepl.org if you have any questions.
