Who we are: Our program fosters a community that focuses on helping adults with mental illness to live vocationally meaningful and socially satisfying lives. The Clubhouse completes this through helping members return to work and school, live independently, and develop a social support network. In this collaborative, restorative environment, members gain access to opportunities to rejoin the worlds of friendships, family, community, employment and education, and to the services and support they may need. We complete work together side by side to complete work of the Clubhouse and our goals. We work to achieve vocational, educational, housing goals and objectives and developing a support network to maintain mental health and wellness.

Who benefits from those services? People like Stephanie. When Stephanie joined Clubhouse, she lacked confidence and held a lot back. Her years of trauma and struggles with her mental health had made her reluctant to reach out. But after a few months of participating in Clubhouse services through helping with all aspects of the Clubhouse (and discovering she really likes to work) , plus lots of one on one work on daily life skills, Stephanie was ready to step into the world. Now she’s one of the most valuable workers at a Bangor retail store—and she’s helping new Clubhouse members shed their fears and start their own journeys and educating the community on what Clubhouse is about.
