January at Pier 360: Resilience in the Heart of Winter

We made it to another January. Welcome.

Winter invites us into stillness — a season for rest, reflection, and tending to what sustains us. As we step into a new year, we carry forward what has supported us and gently adjust what no longer fits. January’s focus at Pier 360 is Resilience, a theme that aligns closely with Mental Wellness Month and the practices of Winter Wellness.

Our Executive Director, Brad Berry, shares a reflection on Pier 360’s 30-year history and how the organization is carrying that vision forward. Read the full message here.

This month’s offerings are designed to support steadiness, creativity, and connection during a quieter time of year. Whether you’re easing into the new year slowly or looking for ways to reconnect with community, you’re welcome here.

Below you’ll find January’s activities, outings, and opportunities to connect. Whether you’re looking for creativity, movement, or community, you’re welcome here.

The Warm Line Is Here at 360-903-2853

Winter and the holiday season can bring added stress, loneliness, or moments when connection feels especially important. Pier 360’s Warm Line offers a way to reach out and talk with a peer when you need support.

The Warm Line is available every night, from 4 pm to midnight, including holidays, and is a space for listening, connection, and shared understanding. You don’t have to be in crisis to call—sometimes it’s enough to know someone is there.
