La recuperación de problemas de salud mental y adicción es diferente para todos. Es por eso que organizamos diferentes eventos durante todo el año para ayudar a las personas a descubrir cómo se ve la recuperación para ellos.

Este evento es un recorrido en kayak de 4 horas que explora nuestro hermoso río Willamette aquí en Salem y Keizer. Vamos parar en McLain Island para almorzar y luego practicamos un ejercicio de bienestar para nuestra propia salud mental antes de regresar al río. La naturaleza puede proporcionar curación que todos podemos disfrutar si hacemos nuestra parte para conservarla.

Todos los costos de equipo, permisos y cuidado de niños están cubiertos para eliminar las barreras a la participación.
