Future Directions COS

Future Directions is a Peer Run Organization as certified by the Ohio Department of Behavioral Health that offers multiple paths of recovery including peer facilitated support groups, an arts and crafts program, and a drop-in center. Here, our members can talk about issues that are important to them, like social, work, or coping skills. We also have recreation areas like our fitness room, television lounge, and table games space with air hockey and ping pong.

Our staff of Certified Peer Support Specialists creatively fashion all the group topics, like "Coping with Anxiety" or "Living Single". Our arts and crafts department has everything from making old fashioned wood toys to painting ceramics. We have all supplies and tools for beading, crocheting, journaling, knitting, painting on canvas, and other fun projects.

As a Drop-In Center, members can utilize our fitness room with light aerobic machines like the elliptical, stationary bike, and treadmill, as well as light weights and exercise mats. Individuals are also welcome to take a break in our relaxation room or watch a movie in our television lounge.
