10×10 Wellness Campaign
We believe in supporting the whole person through a holistic approach to wellness by offering a wide range of physical and mental health services to aid individuals in their recovery. This includes expanding the behavioral health continuum to provide appropriate care for individuals experiencing mental health conditions, with a particular focus on those who have experienced or currently experience domestic violence, substance use in recovery, and homelessness. Our approach integrates health and wellness services such as fitness, nutrition education, healthy eating, and weight loss, recognizing the vital role these factors play in both physical and mental health.
Over the next 10 years, Alameda County’s 10X10 campaign will promote services, activities, and policies that incorporate the 8 dimensions of wellness, focusing on increasing life expectancy for mental health consumers by 10 years. By addressing the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—this initiative emphasizes the importance of physical fitness, proper nutrition, and healthy weight management as essential elements of recovery and long-term wellness. HHREC coordinates and implements this project for Alameda County Behavioral Health Care Services as part of their Mental Health Services Act funding.

We Move for Health
We Move for Health (WM4H) Background
Before COVID-19, We Move for Health (WM4H) was an annual festive event honoring Mental Health Awareness Month. In the last three years, the WM4H event has transitioned into a virtual gathering, utilizing technology to unite the community and promote physical activity, wellness in eight dimensions, and more. Our aim is to revive WM4H with the inclusion of community feedback.

The POCC, Peers Organizing Community Change
Our mission is to improve the quality of life for Alameda County residents who have mental health or substance use issues, and to provide the consumer perspective in transforming Alameda County Mental Health Services with a recovery vision that is consumer-driven, culturally competent, and holistic in its services & supports. We provide a strong peer/ consumer voice in the mental health system and in the community.
POCC now puts on its own annual conference each summer. Members of the Consumer Empowerment Department collaborate with the community on CIT and on a trauma-informed learning collaborative, among other efforts. There has been collaborative exploration into the importance of Spirituality in wellness and recovery, and most recently, examination of Peer Specialist Certification has been at the forefront.
HHREC partners with the POCC to coordinate a Wellness Room at the POCC Conference. During this event participants can sign up for massages, acupuncture, yoga, meditation and other wellness activities.
