Recreational/Social Events

Vacations

Our clients and staff vacation together annually. The retreat destination is decided by all of those attending and has included places such as the Rocking Horse Ranch, Ocean City, the Pocono's, and Mystic, CT. The residents and staff work together at choreographing their trip to meet the interests of everyone and have enjoyed many successful trips together.

Holidays

Family Days began at Search for Change in 1989 setting a precedent for other residential services in the mental health community. Search for Change feels, and has always felt, what today is commonplace philosophy; that the involvement of family and other close supports in the process of one's rehabilitation is fundamental to that individual achieving success in living independently.

Throughout the Year

Recreation and social events are not just a few times a year. Many of our units get involved in activities suited to their residents. For example, our Putnam Supported Housing Program has an organized basketball night. In the summer many of our residents attend Yankees/Mets games and many play softball in preparation for the big game at our annual agency wide picnic. There is a Mid-Winter bash to break up the season and we have had Black History Month Celebrations, St. Patrick's Day parties, St. Valentine's Day festivities, and summer barbeques in which all Search for Change constituents are invited.
