Scrapbook Your Homesick Blues Away
Description: To have an interesting program about homesickness and how to fight it, I had residents come to a "scrapbooking" program. I advertised that they should bring photos or scraps, and I bought supplies with hall council money, so I gave info about homesickness and how to fight it while we scrapbooked and the residents talked about home, but also about how much fun they are having here. Each person could scrap about one or two pages.
Other Considerations: Try to stress that not everyone needs photos to come, they can bring scraps or provide postcards to create a scrapbook page. I found that residents like to do crafts as a stress relief.
