COMMUNITY LIVING ROOM
Beginnig Monday, June 15h through July 27th
From 3:00 pm to 8:00pm.

We are initiating a pilot program for CLR at Planet Perk. We are hoping to grow the program here in Oshkosh to go beyond this pilot program.

The Community Living Room is a non-clinical, person-centered environment for people seeking social connection and emotional support.

The primary objective of the Community Living Room is to utilize the concept of connection as a framework for prevention in a no-cost, community-based supportive space.

The outcome of the Community Living Room is connection. The Community Living Room is grounded in the present, offering a healing space for people to be seen, heard, and valued just as they are.

One of the founding values of Planet Perk has been the belief that loniliness is one of the most destructive forces in our world. It only made sense to partner with CLR to provide our cafe spaces in a more purposeful manner. This will all be a part of our effort to be an invaluable "third space" for the community. Over the coming weeks, we will share more information about the program and we hope to serve as many people as possible.

People visiting us can also utilize Ken's Closet and our Pay-It-Forward programs.
