The Blue Blanket, Inc. is a Retreat Center serving Buncombe County and beyond, by providing counseling services to those who are suffering from depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, Panic Attacks, Grief and Loss, Trauma, and other mental illnesses through the use of both weekly group retreats and hourly/daily group in person workshops. Our retreat center will use multi-modalities to give people a broad range of tools and to help people using a broad range of strategies. Using people who are licensed and experienced in their fields, we will use traditional Psychotherapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Neuropsychology, Art Therapy, Yoga, Meditation and Mindfulness, Sound/Music Therapy, Forest Bathing, Tai Chi and others. Our hope is to help heal a community who has been through a variety of crises over the last 5 or so years, and would benefit from a warm, accessible, nonjudgmental, comfortable place where they can join together with others and learn new skills and strategies to help them cope through whatever is going on now and whatever comes in the future. We hold our groups to be sacred in their confidentiality. Healing the past, coping with the present, and being prepared for the future without worry and angst our our primary goals. At the current time, although we welcome everyone at The Blue Blanket, we are focused on healthcare workers, educators, and first responders, because keeping that segment of our society healthy and on the job is critical to our nation's future health and viability.
