Personalized Recovery Oriented Services (PROS) program at The Bridge just turned 1 year old! We celebrated yesterday in the cafeteria of our headquarters with a packed house of clients and staff and plenty of ice cream.

PROS participants took turns at the podium and highlighted what they liked about the PROS program. Certificates of Completion were given out to 22 clients that have completed the Cognitive Remediation Program. This program is designed as a behavioral treatment that uses various mental exercises to facilitate improvement in targeted areas like memory, attention, processing speed and problem solving. A client said that after completing the Cognitive Remediation Program, he can pay attention better to the teacher in school, and has also become a better worker. Another client said that the Cognitive Remediation program had helped her in her job in the mailroom with multi-tasking and she can maintain the different parts of her job better.

Graduates of the Wellness Self Management Program also received certificates. This is a program where clients go through modules that work on coping skills, symptom management, physical and mental stability. One graduate of the program said it helped him to look on the brighter side of things.

We are celebrating Recovery Month all September long, and want to thank everyone who made this event possible.
