Frequently Asked Question
- What is a clubhouse?
- A clubhouse is a place where people who have had mental illness come to
rebuild their lives. The participants are called members, not patients
and the focus is on their strengths not their illness. Work in the
clubhouse, whether it is clerical, data input, meal preparation or
reaching out to their fellow members, provides the core healing process.
Every opportunity provided is the result of the efforts of the members
and small staff, who work side by side, in a unique partnership. One of
the most important steps members take toward greater independence is
transitional employment, where they work in the community at real jobs.
Members also receive help in securing housing, advancing their education
obtaining good psychiatric and medical care and maintaining government
benefits.
