Breakthrough House Inc

I started being the " better me" at breakthrough House..... the ' me' I was always meant to be.

I think that it is a very swell place. I really enjoy the food

Its a wide open space. They have a work out center, library, a computer, arts and crafts, thrift store - all visible. You can see everything. Nothing around the corner, exposed. Get to move towards your goals, help out in the kitchen, to exercise, can help out in any area.

It's a good place that you can get a lot of supports, and they are very helpful with people.

Breakthrough Clubhouse has helped me to keep sober and helped me with many learning skills and has taught me a lot of skills with every day living. Taught me some new ways how to be self-confident and self-esteem because in the work ordered day when I accomplish something it raises my self worth.

I have been using Breakthrough House as my payee service for years. Everyone has treated me with respect and kindness since day one. This is an excellent resource and I would recommend them to anyone.

I receive financial management services at BTH. Kathy, B.J. and Margaret go above and beyond to make sure all of the clients are taken care of. They make me feel welcomed, special, and respected. Their care and compassion is incredible. I also ask Theresa questions from time to time and she always answers me with kindness.

I would not be where I am on my mental health journey if it weren't for Breakthrough House.

To whom it may concern. My name is Danny H. I am a consumer here at the Breakthrough Club house. I started coming to the club house about a year and a half ago. During which time I was struggling with accepting my mental health diagnosis. I also struggled with alcohol, and drug addiction issue's. The Breakthrough club house became my safe place to escape to where I could just be me without judgment or fear of others know matter what. One of the few rules here is absolutely know threating behavior. Know one put any pressure on me to do anything until I was ready. There is so much good going on at the club house. Again to whom it may concern have a Blessed Day

The clubhouse has helped me to be a better person I also enjoy what I do at the clubhouse like cooking and helping other Memebers

I come to BTH to get help and I can be somebody! I feel I get things done and the staff is wonderful! The Breakthrough Clubhouse is like family!! I have been a member for about 3 years. It is a wonderful place that care about the members served.

The Breakthrough House Clubhouse is a place to go to because I have too. I enjoy listening to music and socializing.

Great through has helped me learn my social skills to be able to be out in the community

I have been a member for the Clubhouse for over 20 years. The Clubhouse helped me after being in the hospital. There is a lot of added opportunities available to people with mental illness at Breakthrough House.

I have been with Breakthrough House for 29 years. They have been like a family to me. They have many things to offer to help me with my recovery. I, in turn show them love, appreciation and gratitude. Breakthrough House has picked me up when I was down. I don't see myself doing anything else. I appreciate them helping me get my feet on the ground.

I have been a member for 40 years. Breakthrough House is like family to me! I feel unconditionally welcome. I come to Breakthrough House Clubhouse every week. I feel very at home here. I encourage the public and community to support BTH as much as possible!

Breakthrough House is a great place and offers lots of services and gives consumers the chance to connect with others. Breakthrough Clubhouse has great staff members and its key here. I'm a older consumer and i enjoy coming to the Clubhouse. The Clubhouse offers me an opportunity to "vent my stack" and listen to others. The Clubhouse offers neat meals, outings and with support.

I enjoy being around others and working with volunteers and Clubhouse staff to make the Clubhouse presentable. I respect all the staff and no problem at all with them and enjoy working with them. I enjoy working in the kitchen and helping Jean and making the kitchen look good. I give all the support to Breakthrough Clubhouse and I enjoy coming here with other consumers and the volunteers, along with the staff.

The Breakthrough House gives you a place to go to socialize and share lives problems with other consumers. I find it easier to talk to the staff sometimes than the clients. The meetings are conversational and gives you something to do with your day and activities. I enjoy watching the art in the art room and look at the walls with pictures that have been created. The Thrift store is awesome place to buy used clothes and the ability to look around and kitchen ware is good to have. The meals are delicious and accommodate for the weather. I participate and volunteer in small repair jobs and have the ability to be successful and its satisfying. This ability helps the Clubhouse and it saves lots of money. I enjoy donating my time and abilities. I also donate when I can.

The Breakthrough Clubhouse is always here for me whenever I'm having symptoms of my illness. They all understand what I'm going through and they ease and support me through the rough times to feel better. This helps me get back to my normal, happy, pleasant self. The staff is really excellent with dealing with people with mental illness and they truly understand and comfort you. They never tease, degrade, your feelings and they make you feel like a normal human being. This is the reason we need a Clubhouse and I am speaking for my self and other members here at the Clubhouse.

My current situation is this. I have an apartment I have been living there for three years. I have graduated from case management, I do volunteer work for the Rescue Mission--I now use the Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library and take out books and I also graduated from Washburn Tech for being an Auto Mechanic.

Breakthrough House has, through its membership, given me Mental Health support for 7 years. We have great people working with the members to help them function in the community with success,
This is a great Mental Health program. The social support that I receive has made a real difference in my life!

Breakthrough House has helped me increase my circle of friends. It has helped me look forward to not staying in bed all day and dealing with my depression. It helps to have the different groups going and helps provide different activities throughout the day. Breakthrough House serves a lunch and its great nutritional benefit and if I was alone or at home I probably would not eat that day.

Breakthrough House is a great organization that helps support members with mental illness. We come to the Clubhouse to keep our minds occupied and socialize with friends. We help out each other and that’s important always.

Breakthrough House is the best place to come for mental health illnesses. It helps people to get jobs and to have a special way of living including meeting new friends. There are alot of clerical jobs around here and its very helpful to other members. We have good support and staff that works with mentally ill.

Breakthrough House has been helpful to me because I get to feel what it's like to be cared for, have friends, and people their for me. I also get to feel a sense a hope when I am here because I don't know what to do when I am by myself. The staff really care about my needs and whats going on in my life. They care about my mental and physical well-being.
