NCC NEWS AND UPDATES

Happy New Year to all of our partners!

We will be continuing to offer programs through our Virtual Independence Program (VIP) throughout the next 4 months. These programs will include caregiver and warrior-specific programs, as well as art and writing therapies open to all participants in the Independence Program. In addition, our warriors will be leading workshops each month on a topic of their choice. This past Fall, several warriors led workshops with support from their CSS on topics including nutrition, poetry, painting, cooking, and more. Please encourage your warriors to attend or even facilitate an upcoming event! If you have any questions about VIP offerings, reach out to your Case Manager or contact Jenny at Jabramson@neurocc.com
