What is SAGA? An individualized, integrated approach with connection and accountability.
SAGA is a 3-phase initiative focusing on building the skills needed to live a full and healthy life. Throughout SAGA we focus on our 4 pillars of Security, Connecting to others, Wellness, and Building-self.
Who can benefit from saga?
SAGA is for anyone who is feeling stuck in life or is generally looking for a change. The curriculum is designed to help individuals access a new set of skills to use in their day-to-day lives. SAGA will only work as well as you want it to, so come in ready to grow!
SAGA is not a good fit for individuals in active crisis or under 18 years of age.
What makes SAGA different?
SAGA understands that everyone has a different learning style and implements hands-on activities into every session. Some activities are done off-site (transportation provided) and allow individuals to learn by doing. As an addition to the SAGA groups, individuals also have the opportunity to meet with a wellness coach weekly.
