Summer brings a new look to TRS...

Particpants, Parents & Care-providers, TRS is making a change - programs will now be offered based upon interest category and not by disability. Programs will now be broken down into the following categories: Cultural Arts- Arts, crafts, pottery, ceramics, painting, music, and dance classes Life Skills- Technology, cooking, home improvement, and social classes Wellness & Fitness- Yoga, Pilates, group exercise, martial arts, aquatics, and health classes Outdoors & Travel- Hiking, climbing, biking, day, and overnight trips So...what does this mean for you? Regardless of your disability you can choose an activity based on your interest and skill level. Please read program descriptions carefully to be sure that the program is something you are interested in and is appropriate for your skill level. TRIPs programs will remain unchanged. Only participants who are current Mountain House members, or former Mountain House members who are still clients of Blue Ridge Behavioral Healthcare with a diagnosis of a psychiatric disability, are eligible for these programs. We appreciate your patience as we make this change, and hope that you’re as excited as we are about our summer program line up! If you have any questions, or need help navigating the new layout, please do not hesitate to call. ~TRS Staff

We have good news! TRS now has a Google Calendar located on the TRS home webpage. If you already use Google Calendars you can export ours so you have all the semester program information you need at your fi ngertips! Use the print option to hang a hard copy in your home. Ongoing programs like Mingle, Wednesday Adventurers, Leisure Seekers and Movie Clubs will have their weekly activity information listed in case you lose the route! Or look ahead to see if there are additional programs you are interested in. *Please note, all TRS programs require pre-registration, so call to see if space is available if you are not already registered.

Terri Johnson started with TRS back in January as an intern from Radford University, and was a great addition to programs throughout the Winter and Spring semesters. Terri worked at Mingle on Tuesdays, Fitness Club, The 26th Annual Valentine’s Dinner Dance, the Lock-In and Ladies Night In, just to name a few. Upon completing her internship with TRS in April, Terri has decided to stay on with TRS as a Support Staff for a time, so look for her at upcoming Summer programs.

Thanks Terri for your hard work these past few months!

When meeting at pick-up points, if a participant’s transportation is more than fi ve (5) minutes late for pick up/drop off time, three (3) times within a semester, the participant will be dropped from transportation for the remainder of that semester. If a participant is removed from transportation, they will receive a refund for those fees.
