Resource Spotlight is a new monthly program designed to connect you with valuable community resources. Each session will feature guest speakers from local agencies who will share up-to-date information on services, eligibility, and contact details. You’ll also have the chance to ask questions and get the information you need in a welcoming, interactive environment. Learn about topics relating to Health & Safety, Nutrition, Support Services, Legal Services, Transportation, & much more!

Whether you’re new to these resources or just need updated information, Resource Spotlight will have it. Sessions will be held at Vista Center in our Conference Room. We’ll even provide light, healthy refreshments to make it a fun and engaging experience.

We can’t wait to help you discover the resources that will enhance your independence and confidence!

Join us for our next session on Wednesday, October 1st, from 1:00-2:00pm.

Featured Organization: Equine Healing Collaborative

Description: Equine Healing Collaborative (EHC) is a nonprofit in Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties that uses Equine‑Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) to support people’s mental health — especially those who’ve experienced trauma, grief, anxiety, or depression. They work with rescued horses and donkeys and licensed or licensed‐eligible therapists to offer individual, family, and group therapy sessions. Sessions are structured and grounded in evidence‑based practices like mindfulness, metaphor analysis, cognitive behavioral therapy, DBT, and motivational interviewing. The services are offered on a sliding‐scale fee, and accept Medi‑Cal and other insurance, so cost is less of a barrier.
