Future Directions COS 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.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS COS IS TEMPORARILY CLOSED
Though Covid-19 continues to plague Cuyahoga County, Ohioans have done a remarkable job to slow the spread of the coronavirus. As such, Governor Mike DeWine has unveiled Responsible RestartOhio, containing the guidelines for which specific services can reopen and the responsible protocols those businesses must take to provide a safe environment for employees, customers, and clients. While many other businesses and restaurants are reopening, adult day support or vocational rehabilitation services in group settings are to remain closed.
As such, Future Directions COS location will stay closed. However, we are currengly hosting virtual group sessions through GoToMeeting every Monday through Friday starting at noon. You can join via cell phone or computer using the call-in number posted here and on our Facebook page, www.facebook.com/futuredirectionscos, each day. Those that need some assistance downloading or using GoToMeeting can call ahead at 216-251-8265 for instruction.
