100MARIN logoSchurig Center is honored to be a 100MARIN charity nominee for its Fall 2019 Event, which will be held on the evening of Thursday, September 26 at the Osher Marin JCC in San Rafael.

Connecting with Furry Friends that Help People See the World

photo of participants petting dogSchurig Center’s latest Community Integration group outing happened in May with a visit to Guide Dogs for the Blind, a leading guide dog school serving people who are blind or visually impaired.

The Guide Dogs team warmly welcomed a group of Schurig Center participants, volunteers, and staff for a walking tour of the San Rafael campus to learn all about their guide dog programs, from birth and puppy socialization to training and pairing with prospective clients.

After the tour, the Schurig group wrapped up the day with lunch and an extra special art project to reflect on what they had learned during the visit – each person created and shared an original art piece depicting their very own dream guide dog.

Community Integration… Why It Matters

Community integration outings like this one are important to the recovery process of our participants. Isolation is often one of the greatest challenges facing people living with the effects of a brain injury. These group outings help keep people active and connected by providing an opportunity for participants to:

  • Re-engage with the community
  • Build confidence through personal interactions with new people
  • Practice communication and social skills
  • Support one another through cooperation and peer-to-peer support
  • Increase their sense of independence
  • Participate and not just be an observer
  • Access experiences and activities that may not otherwise be available to them

Our community is truly stronger when everyone is included!

Thank you!

Big thanks to Keith Rosenthal and the rest of the awesome team at Guide Dogs for their time and enthusiasm to make this memorable “warm and fuzzy” day possible for Schurig’s group.

No one should have to go through brain injury alone.
Your generosity helps ensure no one does.

Schurig Center’s innovative programs are powered by the giving of foundations and individual donors, like you. We hope you’ll join us in making critically-needed services, like the Community Integration Program, possible by donating today. Your gift ensures everyone in our community has the opportunity to live happily, meaningfully, and fully. Thank you!

Schurig Center Hits the Bay with ETC Trips

Big shout out of gratitude to Environmental Traveling Companions (ETC) for an amazing day on the water!

Thanks to the awesome guides and adaptive equipment provided by ETC, a group of Schurig Center’s clients recently enjoyed a fun day of beautiful scenery, lots of blue sky, and a few sea lion friends while kayaking on Richardson Bay.

Environmental Traveling Companions believes that everyone, regardless of physical or financial limitations, should have the opportunity to experience the challenge and beauty of the wilderness. Through ETC adventures, participants overcome perceived limitations, attain greater personal freedom and confidence, and better understand themselves in relation to others and the environment.

Schurig Center is deeply grateful for this meaningful day of community connection and nature! Thank you friends at ETC!
