Brunch Bunch
Thursdays, 10-12
This is a program created at The Therapy Garden to provide a safe place for individuals wanting to socialize independently. With Brunch Bunch, you will be served a bagel breakfast and have time to just enjoy yourself and socialize. Anyone coming to spend time with us here is welcome to use the available amenities. If you want to make yourself a cup of coffee and watch some TV, you’re free to do so! Or maybe you are more interested in spending time in the art studio, that works too. You could even play a game of Uno with a friend! The point is this is your time to spend how you choose. While those coming to hang at the office during this time will be supervised, this is not a structured class or program. Speech Pathologists and DSPs on site will interact and help foster socialization with attendees but are not there to work on any specific skills or provide one-on-one service.

Craft Club
Tuesdays, 3:45-5:45
Craft Club is a slower paced, loosely structured class for those who are looking to socialize while making art or just spend some time expressing themselves creatively. Participants in this class are encouraged to choose what they want to do, whether this is creating a project of their own or picking what the instructor chooses for the day. Those who are a part of this class will be included in the end of the year art show to show off their work!

You are looking for a low-pressure social setting with a small class size to enjoy yourself and relax

You love to do art like coloring, painting, working with clay, or following step-by-step instructions in a craft
