26 Feb Stories of Humor, Hope and Healing Enthrall at History Theatre
On Tuesday evening, February 19, Vail Place members took the stage at the History Theatre in St. Paul. They performed pieces based on their lived experiences with mental illness. They were applauded with a standing ovation and responses including: “The stories of the actors and their bravery to share them with us. Awe-inspiring.” “The honesty of emotions and the courage to tell these stories is deeply moving.” “Helped open my eyes, thoughts, caring. I’ve never experienced the causes/effects/ feelings of mental illnesses and understanding the impact on trying to be comfortable with oneself.” “It was deeply moving and inspiring.” “Helps me gain insight into the roads they traveled. Very thankful for all.” These are typical responses every year to members’ performances since the Vail Place Theater Arts program launched five years ago in close partnership with the History Theatre.26 Feb Meet the Hopkins Clubhouse A/V Team
Did you happen to catch the recent video promoting the Services for Services Auction? If not check it out here. This award-worthy video – engaging, goofy, and just a hoot – was a production of the Hopkins Clubhouse Audio/Visual Team. It’s a testament to Clubhouse community, creativity, and commitment! Two years ago members and staff at a Clubhouse Training in Greenville, South Carolina were inspired by that Clubhouse’s focus on video production in their work day. They decided to bring some of that creative energy back to our Clubhouse community … with amazing results!
The A/V Team has produced videos covering just about everything touching our Clubhouse community and all of Vail Place-
• An overview of our programs for new members
• Tobacco Independence videos to cover the transition to our new Tobacco Free policy
• Week-at-a-glance (WAAG) videos to cover … well, what’s happening during the week … at a glance
• Thank-you videos to donors (like the personal thank you videos that went to every person who donated to GiveMN last November – a real hit!)
• Agency training events
• A member mental health recovery story
• Promotions for upcoming events
Where does this creativity come from?
