What is a Clubhouse?
A Clubhouse is a place for adults managing symptoms of mental illness to come together to provide mutual support, to celebrate accomplishments and to regain self-confidence. Our clubhouse helps members move beyond their illnesses by focusing on member strengths, talents and abilities rather than symptoms. All of the work performed by members at a clubhouse is necessary to the operation of the clubhouse. At a clubhouse members gain confidence through shared experiences and opportunities to discover or rediscover personal talents.
