Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Community Mental Health Centers, Human Service Organizations, Human Services, Mental Health, Mental Health Treatment
Mission: We are a member-led community empowering people with mental illness
Results: Fresh Start Clubhouse is part of a global community dedicated to supporting individuals with mental illness in their recovery through meaningful work and relationships. Most rehabilitation models focus on assessing a person’s level of disability and limiting the expectations based on that assessment. Instead of focusing on teaching or treatment as the tools of rehabilitation. In a Clubhouse the expectations are high and mutual work, mutual relationships, and meaningful opportunities in the community are the vehicles of choice. Operating under international standards, Fresh Start provides employment, education, housing, and wellness programs. Our members are dedicated people, voluntarily engaged in Clubhouse Operations, participating in meaningful work, education, and social activities that contribute to their self-worth, confidence, and purpose. How does Fresh Start assist with Employment? Fresh Start Clubhouse offers paid employment opportunities in our community. The core of these is transitional employment (TE). Which is a barrier free, hands-on and mutually beneficial program for those seeking to enter or re-enter the workforce.
