Review for NorthStar Clubhouse, Portland, OR, USA
There is no place like NorthStar. I felt accepted for who I was as soon as I came in. Everyone with mental health challenges has a different story and goals which are respected. It's understood that you are in community where there is an opportunity to socialize and learn from one another, as well as to be part of different activities regarding employment, operation of the non-profit, or food and nutrition. Members of the Clubhouse prepare and serve a delicious healthy lunch every day. People can also help run the thrift store on the premises, The Next R. I like that this is useful work in its own right as well as a stepping stone to obtain or return to employment in the community if that is what you want. Since becoming a NorthStar member I have found the next step in my own employment which was eluding me.
