Nueva Vista - Increasing Activity

Residential Counselors conduct rehabilitation and recreational group activities on a daily basis during the afternoon portion of the program. Group trainers offer one elective training group and other structured activities to residents from 1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. These afternoon groups and structured activities are aimed at enhancing each resident’s social and daily living skills, as well as promoting each resident’s sense of community belonging. Structured recreational group activities also occur in the evening hours during the week and at regularly scheduled times during the weekends. Although weekend and evening recreational activities are not part of the formal “group training,” they are still conducted with the same goal of enhancing social skills and personal capabilities.
