Programs and Services
The Work-Structured Day
Clubhouse members take ownership of running the daily activities of the
organization while simultaneously participating in their own recovery
process. Members volunteer their time in all aspects of TGP including
administration, intake and orientation, outreach, public relations, clubhouse
maintenance and advocacy. Every day at 10:00 a.m. and
1:00 p.m., unit meetings are held to discuss activities of the unit for that
portion of the day and to assign duties to members.
Employment
Our ultimate mission is not for clubhouse members to stay here all day
every day. Instead, we want them to be out in the community working or
volunteering and living as independently and self-sufficiently as possible.
To this end, we offer an Employment Program. Our Employment Program
assists members who are ready to rejoin the workforce through paid
employment or volunteer positions. Staff assists clubhouse members with
resumes, applications and interview preparation. Staff members also
provide support and motivation once a member is employed and often visits
employers to advocate for the clubhouse member and help resolve issues
that arise.
Wellness
Our Certified Health Education Specialist works with clubhouse members
to create monthly wellness challenges and provides regular seminars on
issues that are vital to our community such as Medication Management,
Daily Living Skills Training, Symptom Management, and Healthy Diet and
Exercise.
Socialization
Every member that attends participates in the activities of the clubhouse on
some level, whether it is making outreach calls to members who have not
attended in a few days, washing windows, baking a cake for another member’
s birthday, running our retail food and beverage shop, staffing the library,
or assisting staff with administrative duties. These activities are performed
alongside other clubhouse members, building self esteem and confidence
when interacting with others. In addition to these daily activities, TGP also
offers socialization activities in the form of Friday Fun Nights. These
consist of competitive games, prizes, movies and food. Members play an
active role in planning and implementing all of these socialization
activities, which strengthens relationships as well as builds self-esteem
and planning and implementation skills.
