About Us

What is a Clubhouse International clubhouse?

A Clubhouse is a rehabilitative mental health program. Clubhouses offer their members an alternative to isolation, which is often a side effect of mental illness. This is achieved through opportunities to obtain employment, create friendships, gain self-esteem, and access critical resources.

What is the work-ordered day?

Programming of the Clubhouse is structured around the work-ordered day. Members and staff work side by side in every aspect of the Clubhouse. The benefits of this are building these relationships, focusing on strengths, and improving self-esteem through important work. Another benefit is the delicious lunch prepared by our members and staff every day! The Plaza's work-ordered day is from 8 am to 3 pm. To facilitate the WOD, we hold two work unit meetings every day - one at 10 am and one at 1 pm.

What do we do for fun?

In addition to the meaningful work of the Clubhouse, members and staff go on outings, celebrate holidays, and plan recreational activities to further faciliate relationships and build self-esteem.
