Quest is a three day program conducted at Mental Health America of Hanover County’s Tom Hale, III Training Center in Ashland, VA. The program is facilitated by seasoned (more than 40 years of teaching and facilitating experience) professional educators with lived personal mental health experience. Some participants will attend in residence at our Ashland training center and Metropolitan Richmond participants will be invited to commute daily to the program. Communally prepared meals will be offered during each day of training and participants attending in residence may share a room with another participant attending training. One day of training will be devoted to experiential learning at Challenge Discovery’s Outdoor Adventure Learning Center with activities that involve critical thinking, mutual support and physical challenge. Each class member is encouraged to both challenge their own self imposed limitations and exercise choice in the level of their individual participation.

Participant Requirements:
- Be 90 days post crisis and able to independently manage a personal self care plan. (Quest has no
resources to administer or prompt medication management).
- Able to participate in an outdoor learning environment for 5 hours (Most all activities can be adapted
for physically challenged participants).
