Grant Funding Boosts Williston Stabilization Center’s Offerings
Centre’s Stabilization Center in Williston stands as a testament to the power of collective action in addressing the multifaceted needs of individuals facing mental health challenges. Thanks to recent grant funding from the City of Williston and Williams County, the Stabilization Center has purchased a variety of items to aid in enriching lives and further nurturing holistic well-being among its residents.
By utilizing the grant funds to incorporate a variety of activities spanning physical health, emotional stability, life skills, and leisure, the Centre Inc. Stabilization Center is addressing the multifaceted needs of those we serve. Providing a balance between structured programs, such as financial and nutrition education, and enjoyable activities, like painting, crafting, board games and movie nights, helps to foster a sense of community and well-being. Adding cornhole, a puzzle board, musical instruments, games, and various activities into the Stabilization Center's offerings has been a wonderful way to promote relaxation, engagement, and social interaction among residents.
