UPDATE: Residents of Los Gatos will have the opportunity to connect with the Santa Clara County Behavioral Health Navigator team at the Los Gatos Library on January 6, 2024. This urgent program provides personalized assistance for mental health, substance use, and suicide prevention, directly impacting community well-being.
Starting at 10:00 AM, peer navigators will be available for drop-in consultations, addressing behavioral health questions and connecting individuals to vital local resources. Residents are encouraged to arrive early, as services will be provided on a first-come, first-serve basis. For those unable to attend in person, immediate support can be reached by calling 1-800-704-0900 or emailing [email protected].
In addition to this crucial support, the Los Gatos Library is hosting a weekly Social Stitching event on January 5, inviting needlework and textile art enthusiasts to gather and share their projects. This self-directed group encourages people of all skill levels to bring their own materials and tools, fostering community connections through creativity.
Further enriching the community’s cultural offerings, the New Museum Los Gatos (NUMU) is conducting free workshops to create accordion books every Thursday through Sunday until February 1. Inspired by artist Jody Alexander, participants will learn to fold and glue pages to create a unique book format, perfect for sketching or reflecting on intentions for the new year. This hands-on workshop will take place at 106 E. Main St. and is included with admission to the museum.
