Enrichment & Social
Adult Enrichment offers a wide variety of activities for participants to select and engage in. These activities focus on providing enrichment through education, peer interactions (socialization) and the sharing of common interests. Participants select the activities they want to be a part of and may provide input on what activities are offered.
Book Club
Our monthly Book Club meets online on the third Wednesday at 2:30 pm every month. You do not have to complete the entire book to join us, and everyone is welcome. After we finish our discussion each month, we’ll select a new book.

Movie Club
Our Movie Club meets online on the first and third Tuesday at 3:00 pm every month. We’ll discuss the film, compare notes on favorite films and discover new ones. After a lively discussion, we’ll select the next movie to review.

Support Groups
Support groups are offered monthly for clients and caregivers, and provide an opportunity to share and validate similar experiences, learn information about our programs and services and provide helpful tips about daily living and network with others in a supportive environment. Participants often experience less depression and develop a more positive attitude about their ability to function and lead normal, productive lives.
Support groups are held in cities throughout the year in Sarasota, Bradenton, Venice, Port Charlotte and Highlands counties.
