Check out our annual inclusion calendars! Each has a different focus related to community participation and includes monthly suggestions for promoting community inclusion.
“Reflect. Connect. Act. transforms research into actionable methods for community participation, offering monthly micro-trainings and weekly journal prompts designed to foster personal, social, and professional growth. Updated monthly in 2026, the initiative encourages intentional engagement and provides strategies for sustained community involvement, adaptable for various settings throughout the year.”
This weekly calendar and journal celebrate the stories of individuals with serious mental illness who have made a difference in their communities. These stories highlight the power of community participation to foster connection and a feeling of mattering. We’re inviting you to explore these stories and reflect on what inspires to make a difference in your own community.

The 2022 version of our popular Family Leisure Calendar!
Each month of this calendar focuses on a different community participation goal that maintains the health and safety of everyone and offers three specific strategies that can support you to maintain your community connections: one using technology, one that is low-tech, and an in-person strategy.
This calendar is based on our Welcoming Places project in which participants identified and described a community location where they felt welcomed as a person with a mental illness. The calendar features these welcoming places and challenges you engage in your welcoming place!
Our 2019 edition of our yearly calendar is based on community participation as a medical necessity. This calendar features actual resource requests from participants in our self-directed care study to give you inspiration in creating your own ideas for enhancing mental health and wellness.
Designed to help you think about family leisure differently, this calendar will challenge you to identify activities you enjoy, find free or low-cost resources in your community, and identify people who will help you stay motivated to achieve your goals.
