“Rainbow Heights helped me learn how to settle disputes. I got the emotional support I needed to succeed. Both staff and other members have been very encouraging.

“I have more of a social life and my relationships seemed to have improved since being at Rainbow Heights Club. I feel I am more outgoing because I get motivation from groups and counselors that help me get out of my comfort zone and meet other people to get more support.”

“I like eating together in the community room. The meals help me save my food stamp money. I’ve made friends and enjoy the outings we go on. I have good and bad days but Rainbow Heights makes me feel better. I get to talk about my feelings and that helps a lot. The car fare they give out makes it easy to come here.”
