Volume is the amount of space that something takes up. For example, if youâve been given a box containing a present, then you could find the boxâs volume by measuring its length, its width and its height. You would then multiply the length by the width, then multiply this figure by the height.
A literacy center is a physical area (or station) designated for specific learning purposes. It is designed to provide appropriate materials to help students work independently or collaboratively (with partners or in small groups) to meet literacy goals. A literacy center can be portable, temporary or permanent.
In 2005, the Department of Mental Health developed a plan to establish local consumer operated centers that would build upon established partnerships. Called Recovery Learning Communities, or RLCs, these local hubs of information and support are now operating in all six DMH Areas. It's a new type of model, one that relies on the momentum of the consumer movement and the strong partnership among consumer leaders and DMH that continues to grow.
