About Us
About the Queen City Clubhouse
The Queen City Clubhouse is a welcoming community where adults living with mental illness can build meaningful relationships, discover their strengths, and make their own choices. Members and staff work side by side to operate the Clubhouse, creating an environment where everyone is valued for their talents, abilities, and contributions.
At the heart of the Clubhouse is the work-ordered day. It is a collaborative approach in which members choose how they would like to participate in the daily operations of the Clubhouse. By working together on meaningful tasks, members develop confidence, learn new skills, and support one another on their recovery journey.
Members can choose to participate in one of three work units:
-
Membership
-
Hospitality
-
Programming, Advocacy & Development (PAD)
Together, these units keep the Clubhouse running while providing opportunities for personal growth, skill development, and community involvement.
Queen City Clubhouse Mission Statement
Our mission is to redefine mental healthcare as a collaborative process of providing consistent and adaptable support, using a power-with not power-over approach to promote wellness and prevent crisis through community.
Work Ordered Day
The work-ordered day is the heart of the Clubhouse. Members and staff work together as colleagues to complete the daily operations of the Clubhouse. Through meaningful work and shared responsibility, members build relationships, develop valuable skills, gain confidence, and contribute to a supportive community where everyone has a role to play.
Support and Community
At Queen City Clubhouse, no one has to navigate recovery alone. Members have access to support in many areas of life, including housing, education, employment, benefits, and self-advocacy. Our staff work alongside members to connect them with resources, set goals, and overcome challenges.
Choice
The Clubhouse model is designed to enable self-direction and choice while fostering a sense of purpose, wellness, and resiliency. Each day members decide what they would like to do and how they want to contribute. No decisions in the Clubhouse are made without Member input.
