WHEN YOU JOIN OUR CLUBHOUSE, YOU ARE NO LONGER A PATIENT, CLIENT OR CONSUMER, YOU ARE A MEMBER.
You become part of an accepting, caring community of people who will understand you, who’ve had similar experiences as you, and who value you. Clubhouses are vibrant communities in which members can share life events and gather support for accomplishments or challenges. Sometimes the worst symptom of mental illness is isolation — but no one feels alone at Independence Center. The personal bonds and friendships formed at the Clubhouse through work and social activities can last a lifetime.
You will be able to choose your own goals and take an active role in your own progress. You’ll gain access to programs allowing you:
