Volunteer Program

Learn to Help Others as You Help Yourself

The focus of our Volunteer program is to provide a recovery-oriented program for individuals to blossom and start to see self-worth, while being empowered to give back to the Austin MHC. We provide work readiness training in organizational skills, data entry, increasing stamina, filing and copying. Participants also develop the necessary skills and come to understand the responsibilities of becoming a Peer Mentor. Supervision will be given by a trained and certified Peer Supervisor in the state of Texas.

Classes

Tai Chi

Every Friday | 11:30am – 12:30pm

In the Tai Chi group members learn how to maximize chi (life force) within their bodies and use it to heal & maintain their physical, mental and spiritual health. Breathing and relaxation techniques as well as the gentle moving and static exercises of Tai Chi are utilized to achieve this. All skill levels and all fitness levels are welcome.

Crochet/Knitting

Every Tuesday | 2:30pm – 3:30pm

We meet with our peers who like to crochet or would like to learn how to crochet and discuss projects we are working on, help each other who may be having problems, and share ideas and patterns.

Mental Health Peer Support (MHPS) Supervision

This program provides MHPS’s with peer support supervision with credentialed Peer Supervisors. An MHPS experience should be peer-supported, nurturing, engaging, informative, and hands-on experience. MHPS Supervisors will assist the person in getting 250 total supervised hours and provide weekly supervision meetings which can be provided face-to-face or via teleconference. The experience should have you question your tact in handling crisis situations, worldviews, and many other day-to-day situations that may occur.

Hear From Our Peers

"I had tried to commit suicide and I could not get an appointment for three months at MHMR. AMHC were the only ones that were there for me. I met another veteran who is a peer specialist and she gave me hope for recovery. I use resources I learned from the SHAC every day."

“By making me understand that I really can live the life I want to live despite being told 30+ years ago that I'd always be depressed and the episodes would get closer together.”
