Progress Center Calendar: Classes and Events
Upcoming Events
What:
This event will be an opportunity for Progress Center Consumers, Members, Supporters, Allies, and Advocates to have a virtual meeting. The meeting will give participants time to share how they are feeling, ask questions of others, hear what others are doing and sharing, and perhaps learn some new ways to navigate current challenges.
Why:
The threat of Covid-19 and the reality of the Illinois Stay at Home Order has changed life for just about everybody in Chicagoland and Illinois. Each of us has new challenges to face, and each of us has to face those challenges without the benefit of face to face contact with our friends, peers, and colleagues. Though we can’t meet in person, this event will give participants a chance to talk over the phone, and connect through Zoom, an online platform, and share what is on our minds. The floor will be open for people to talk about frustrations they have experienced, accomplishments, new things they’ve learned, and everything in between.
Who:
The event is geared toward consumers, members, and advocates from the Progress Center and broader disability community. All interested people are encouraged and welcome to join though.
When:
The event will be every Monday from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Where:
The event will be over Zoom. Participants will be able to connect through either a phone line or through the internet.

Join Progress Center for the Monthly Peer Support and Art Group. Before Covid-19, this group, led by Board Member Susan Becker, met monthly. This will be the third remote meeting of the group. The group now is meeting biweekly, every other Thursday at 10 a.m.
We will spend an hour sharing what is on our minds, and sharing artwork on which we have been working. If you have a piece of art you would like to share, please feel free to bring it to the meeting to share over the zoom screen, or send a picture of the art of the meeting organizer ahead of time. Then, your art will be shared via screen share during the meeting. Send the artwork to this address: garnold@progresscil.org.
For the next session on July 16, we will be talking about and sharing journals. People are encouraged to create a journal that can be used for drawing and for writing and start making entries in the journal.
