Clubhouse Program

Our Clubhouse

Accredited by Clubhouse International and CARF

Our Clubhouse is the heart and soul of Independence Center. It fulfills the basic human need of being wanted, needed, and expected. Members come voluntarily to set goals, learn life skills, do jobs, improve their health, and enjoy a caring community.

Clubhouse Members Experience a Purpose-Filled Day, Every Day

Our Clubhouse is an accepting, supportive community where members build close relationships with each other and staff, and experience a purpose-filled day. They can build on their own strengths, talents and abilities, and regain the confidence lost by the stigma of mental illness. Our members take an active role in their own progress, working side-by-side with staff and other members. Those who are able, get on a path to meaningful employment.

Independence Center Clubhouse is accredited by Clubhouse International, a globally recognized leader in changing the world of mental health. We are the second largest of 390 Clubhouses in the world and one of only 5 training bases in the United States.
