WHAT IS A CLUBHOUSE?

• Reduce incarcerations Criminal justice system involvement substantially diminished during and after Clubhouse psycho-social program membership .

• Improve member well-being Compared with individuals receiving psychiatric services without Clubhouse membership, Clubhouse members were significantly more likely to report that they had close friendships and someone they could rely on when they needed help.

• Improve members’ physical and mental health A recent study suggests that service systems like Clubhouses that offer ongoing social supports enhance mental and physical health by reducing disconnectedness.

CLUBHOUSES HAVE BEEN PROVEN TO

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

IMAGINE THE DIFFERENCE THAT CAN BE MADE IN DOUGLAS COUNTY

MEMBERS TAKE AN ACTIVE ROLE IN THEIR OWN RECOVERY

• Membership is voluntary and without time limits • There are no agreements, contracts, schedules or rules intended to

enforce participation

This gives members a sense of ownership, investment in the community in which they choose to be a part

• Members and Staff work side-by-side as colleagues to accomplish the work of the Clubhouse

• All work done in the Clubhouse is generated for the benefit of the clubhouse and its’ membership. There is not outside work or enterprises inside the Clubhouse. This gives meaning and purpose behind every Clubhouse opportunity

A CLUBHOUSE GIVES MORE THAN A PLACE TO GO

“Clubhouse gives me a reason to live.” - Linda

“It’s my second home. It’s my safe place to go to be useful, somewhere to do good

and a positive place to be around.” - Jenny

“It gives me purpose, tools and skills. I learned computers and a sense of responsibility that

comes with it.” - Gary

“Clubhouse literally saved my life.” - Karen

“I come because it gives me leadership and something to work

towards.” - Robert

“Something to do and something to keep me busy.” - Tim

“A place to learn and meet new people. I come because it helps me with my mental illness. It gives me purpose and a reason to get out of

bed.” - Wolf

“I couldn’t live without it. I have to come. It’s been so good to me.” - Mike

MEMBERS TAKE AN ACTIVE ROLE IN THEIR OWN RECOVERY

• Decisions of the Clubhouse are made on consensus by members and staff together as equals

• Clubhouse staff are sufficient to engage the membership yet few enough to make carrying out the responsibilities impossible without member involvement

• All work in the Clubhouse is designed to help members regain self worth, purpose and confidence

CLUBHOUSE FOCUSES ON MEMBERS’ STRENGTHS

• There are no medication clinics, day treatment or therapy programs within the clubhouse

• Members have equal access to every clubhouse

opportunity without differentiation based on diagnosis or level of functioning

One of the ways we help is by giving people a path to better opportunities for financial stability and independence

88% of people living with mental illness in Oregon are unemployed

60% of people living with mental illness have the desire and are

able to be employed

ENDING ISOLATION AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC DISPARITY THROUGH

HOPE AND REBUILDING LIVES

Clubhouses offer three different types of employment: • Independent – Clubhouses help members with putting together

resumes, cover letters, filling out applications, interview skills, employment-focused workshops as well as monthly employment dinners to celebrate member accomplishments and offer support

• Supported Employment – The next level of support offered that is individualized to each member’s unique situation and needs. The type, frequency and location of desired support is decided by the member, employer and Clubhouse staff

• Transitional Employment – The most supported of employment, Transitional Employment is designed to give members an opportunity to build skills, current work history and references to help members transition back into the workforce

RECOVERY THROUGH WORK

Letter of Support from Roseburg City Police Chief Burge, Retired: “I am confident that the investment placed in the Roseburg Clubhouse will have a lasting

positive impact on our community and, most importantly, our citizens who suffer from a mental illness. The Roseburg Clubhouse will help fill a void in services and outreach to the

mentally ill. It is about time something like this becomes a reality in Douglas County.”
