Potential Place Programs

Wed, 23 Mar 2011 08:43:16 -0400

In the Clubhouse model the focus is on the strengths and the abilities of members, and they are offered opportunities to share in the real work needed to run the Clubhouse. The prejudice against mentally ill people, and the commonly held belief that they cannot work, or that their behaviors are immutable, are daily confronted by the realities of members and staff working side by side. The stereotype beliefs about the mentally ill and the low self esteem of the members are dispelled in the real world of work.

The Goal

Wed, 23 Mar 2011 08:43:04 -0400

To contribute to treatment for mental illness by creating a restorative environment within which individuals who have been socially and vocationally disabled by mental illness can attain or regain the self esteem, confidence and skills necessary to lead vocationally productive and socially satisfying lives.

Our Purpose

Wed, 23 Mar 2011 08:42:24 -0400

To create a community with a restorative environment for persons struggling with sever and persistent mental illness. All members have the opportunity to contribute and to benefit from the services and have the support of others. It is a place where the transition between institutional care and independent living can finally be achieved.
