Cordilleras Suites Celebrate the Season

The residents and staff of Cordilleras Suites celebrated the season of giving with their annual Thanksgiving Tree. This year’s theme was gratitude, inspired by one of the principles of RCCS. The tree was up for several weeks and displayed all of the things that residents were grateful for in their lives. It was a wonderful display of their values, their hopes and dreams, and ultimately, of themselves.

Cordilleras and Transitions Celebrate Telecare’s 50th!

On May 26, Cordilleras & San Mateo Transitions hosted Telecare’s 50th celebration. It was attended by staff from both programs, including leaders with San Mateo County Behavioral Health. Clients in the horticultural group made the plant centerpieces and fun was had by all!

Thank you to all the staff that helped put this special party together!

First Pilot Training Program Held for Telecare Staff

Cordilleras and Transitions staff attend first pilot training program, Preparing for Co-Occurring Education Groups, held at Cordilleras on Oct 28-30, 2014. The education groups are intended to increase people’s knowledge of their co-occurring conditions (mental health & substance use) and build their motivation to make healthier choices about their substance use.

Residents Spruce Up the Suites with Thankfulness

The ‘Suites’ put up a Thankful Tree during the month of November 2014. Residents were encouraged to reflect on what they are most thankful for and then to write their thoughts on leaves. Themes of love, family, and shelter were intertwined throughout the tree.

Cordilleras is very happy that the residents took time to decorate the tree with their “thankful” leaves! All of us at the Suites hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving.
