A Clubhouse is first and foremost a community that offers people who have experienced mental illness hope and opportunities to achieve their full potential. 

Through participation in a Clubhouse, people are given the opportunities to rejoin the worlds of purposeful activity, friendships, important tasks, employment, education, and to access the service and supports they need.

Reach Out

​

When members are missing, the Clubhouse actively reaches out to keep them connected and minimize their isolation.  Group and individual calls are made, and we send cards created by member colleagues. We also send birthday and other celebration greetings.  In a clubhouse, we celebrate and support each other.  Another form of outreach is our monthly newsletter, which is provided to all colleagues as well as our associates and supporters.  This serves as both an outreach as well as a public relations tool.

The Work- Ordered Day

The Work-Ordered Day (“WOD”)  centers around purposeful activity during normal business hours and serves as the core of Clubhouse operations. Members choose which “work unit” (department) they want to be involved in and carry out a variety of tasks to run the program in partnership with staff.  Some members want to learn computer skills and do clerical work, whereas others may want to take part in preparing lunch.

Advocacy

Club members participate in efforts to advocate for all people with mental health issues.  This includes attending events in Lansing, Washington and around the world. Members also attend local meetings with politicians and the mental health community.

Social Recreation

Petoskey Club believes in not only working together but playing together. We provide opportunities (social recreation), after-hours every Friday and we are open on every federal holiday. Some of our favorite social recreation activities are axe throwing, camping, picnics, and snowshoeing.
