Community-Oriented Recovery Empowerment (CORE) services are a way for us to provide extra support and skill building for people eligible for these services. CORE services are considered wrap-around supplemental services which support a person’s recovery to improve their quality of life and achieve personal goals such as employment and more socialization.

 

Rainbow Heights Club is designated to provide three CORE services as listed below:

Peer Support

We have 8 NY State certified Peer Specialists on staff, who bring their experience with mental illness and recovery, as well as their experiences as LGBTQ community members. Talk to people who’ve faced challenges like your own, and learn how they overcame them and how you can too.

Psychosocial Rehabilitation

We can assist you in rebuilding skills such as healthy communication, self-care, socialization, and relationship building. Learn to ride the subway, get around the city, and connect to natural supports like parks, museums, and support groups, to help you stay independent and strong in your recovery.
