On Saturday, August 17th, a group of dedicated volunteers connected for a morning of community building and outdoor beautification. We came together and cleared out overgrown brush in the courtyard of Robertson Place, one of our rehabilitation program sites for San Franciscans living with mental illness and substance use disorders.
“This is therapy for me.” – Volunteer
As part of PRC’s Healing Spaces Initiative, this volunteer activation was more than just about clearing the courtyard. It was about our community uniting to create a sanctuary for clients to find serenity, healing, and renewal throughout their recovery journeys. One volunteer stated of the experience, “this is therapy for me.”
We know that the best healing occurs in nurturing environments. PRC’s Healing Spaces Initiative will enhance residential program spaces to promote healing through access to nature, inviting interior spaces, gentle movement, nourishing foods, and interconnectedness with community. Stay tuned for updates and further opportunities to engage with us!
We are deeply grateful for the compassion and commitment of our volunteers. Thank you for helping to transform this space – we couldn’t have done it without you!
In community,
Chuan Teng, CEO
