Services will include individual and group peer support and education delivered by Certified Peer Support Specialists as a Medi-Cal billable service, recovery and support groups, meditation and mindfulness or other somatic healing practices, art, music and movement groups, recreational activities, and connections to daytime activities such as the Enterprise Resource Center and Empowerment Clubhouse.
