At Perry Wellness Center, longtime peer Mary Green is never idle. When she is not in a group meeting or other scheduled activity, she is reading or creating something. One of her favorite activities is doing word search puzzles. Having found a large-print book, Mary is wasting no time in working her puzzles.

She explains, “I like to be busy. It makes the day go quicker. I like words, and my search in this larger print book is fun. I can find the words easier. I learn the spelling of words as I search, and I can learn new words.”
