And the way that we do that is by helping to grow the number and the quality of clubhouse rehabilitation programs, a rehabilitation program called Clubhouse. A clubhouse is an intentional community. It's a voluntary place where people living with mental illness, again, by and large, people with serious mental illness, but anybody with a history of mental illness is welcome.

It's designed to be a community that is rich with opportunities for people to rebuild their lives and reclaim their futures after having been so dramatically disrupted by an illness. People living with mental illness are typically separated from many of the things we all take for granted. They get marginalized and they've usually not finished school, but not always.

They've had their early lives interrupted. In most cases, they lose family, they lose friends, they lose access to employment or money. And a lot of times, maybe the worst thing is they lose hope for the future.

So the clubhouse is this place where people who are typically not welcomed in other places are not only welcomed, but they're welcomed and needed and given repeated opportunities to participate, to engage with others. to rebuild social networks. But the clubhouse, it's more than that. It's an opportunity system. So people, when they come to us, they're usually not at their best.

They're usually been dealing with the difficulties of mental illness in many different ways. And when they come to us, they're looking for help or they're looking for a place to be safe and welcomed. And we provide that. That's really important.

Beyond that, the clubhouse provides so many opportunities that help people rebuild their lives. First and foremost, it's a comfortable place to be. You can come in and just have a cup of coffee if you want to, just talk to somebody, or just sit if you want to. You can also get help accessing needed services, health care, mental health care, social services.
