WHAT'S HAPPENING

Clients show creativity with practicality at Park Place Adult Residential facility

A couple wonderful Park Place residents recently took it upon themselves to solve the cigarette butt problem in the facility's client smoking areas. Historically, big ashtrays are provided in the backyard at Park and yet and still, always there are piles of cigarette butts next to said ashtrays.


A number of creative staff interventions have failed to encourage all smokers to dispose of their butts properly and constant clean-up is required. But a couple folks who live at Park temporarily cracked the code.


They started asking the Park Place kitchen staff to save them empty coffee cans, cleaned out the used cans, removed the paper label and painted them. The artists did such a great job, and the results initially were so effective that the excitement started spreading with more and more clients wanting to paint their own cans. A bunch of different residents reimagined used coffee cans into beautiful storytelling creations that existed to catch cigarette butts. And it was working! Almost all the cigarette butts were being disposed of properly!


The story, however, doesn’t end there. A blessedly detail-oriented member of Park management stepped in and pointed out that OSHA had different ideas, that in order to remain a licensed residential treatment facility, all ashtrays had to have lids. Since no one wants a fine from OSHA and since creative problem solving is a skill Park Place strives to both embody and impart on their clients, it was time to go back to the drawing board. The detail-oriented manager and clients put their heads together and decided to use the beautifully painted cans for the Park Place Gardening group. With this compromise, all the different artists’ cans could still be prominently displayed in the back smoking area while maintaining some sort of useful functionality.


There’s an amazing message there. Park Place residents are actively involved in their recovery and their feedback helps shape the innovation and improvements that go into both the physical facility and the therapeutic program. And people take a different kind of care of the things they help create, of the spaces they and their peers help beautify. With their willingness to compromise and collaborate with management, by recycling and reusing an otherwise wasted resource, by turning the entire enterprise into a therapeutic activity, Park Place residents are able to teach us all about recovery. And they’ve beautified their backyard in the process. A true client win-win!

We are moving in 2024!

Comprehensive Life Resources recently achieved a major milestone. We finalized the purchase of our forever home: 737 Fawcett Avenue in Tacoma.

As the home of the first Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic in the Puget Sound region, our clients will have access to a wide range of services, including therapy, psychiatry, primary care, dental and pharmacy services, all in one location. The best part? We get to design the building specifically to meet their needs.

Between now and the summer of 2023, the building will undergo significant renovation. MultiCare, who owned the building before us, has a legacy of providing services that improve the health of people in Pierce County. We are thankful to have the opportunity to extend that legacy of important work.

As we move forward with our renovation and as we get closer to moving in, we will share project updates and schedules. We plan to launch a capital campaign to help fund some of the hard costs of the project so we can direct more funding to client services.
