Community Calendar

New and expecting dads are invited to join this free workshop to gain support, resources, and education about navigating and appreciating the joys and challenges of fatherhood. Topics include:

- The experience of paternal pregnancy and postpartum
- Understanding mental health shifts in response to bringing home a baby
- Tools to support your partner as a new parent

If a family member has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or a related neurocognitive disorder, a caregiver support group can offer you an opportunity to find out more about available community resources, learn from others who are going through similar experiences, and build a support system. Our Salinas caregiver support group meets on the first Wednesday of each month, without a fee. Open to family members. These groups are led by a trained facilitator and will now meet in person at the First Baptist Church.

This group offers an introduction to the practice of mindfulness. Discover inner peace and well-being in our group psychotherapy program where you'll learn restorative practices, relaxation techniques, personalized self-care, and mindfulness meditation that is guided by experienced therapists. Cultivate resilience and emotional balance in a supportive environment focused on holistic healing.

Monthly meetings feature Informative Speakers and an Opportunity to win Orchids, Food and Fun.
