Future Directions COS

Future Directions is a peer run organization that offers multiple paths of recovery including peer facilitated support groups, an arts and crafts program, and a drop-in center. Here, our members can talk about issues that are important to them, like social, work, or coping skills. We also have recreation areas like our fitness room, television lounge, and table games space with air hockey and ping pong.

Our staff and members creatively fashion all the group topics, like Depression During the Holidays or Living Single. Our arts and crafts have everything from making old fashioned wood toys to painting ceramics. We have all supplies and tools for knitting, crocheting, leather working, beading, canvas painting, and other kinds of projects.
