Enfield Clubhouse is based on the international Clubhouse model of work-based rehabilitation

"The participants are called members, not patients and the focus is on their strengths not their illness"

"A Clubhouse is a

place where

people who have had

mental illness come to

rebuild their

lives"

"Members also receive help in securing housing, advancing their education, obtaining good psychiatric and medical care and maintaining government benefits"

"Work in the clubhouse, whether it is clerical, data input, meal preparation or reaching out to their fellow members, provides the core healing process"

            

"Membership is for life so members have all the time they need to secure their new life in the community"

"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"
