About the Queen City Clubhouse
A place for people with mental illness to be themselves & make their own choices.
​
The Queen City Clubhouse is an innovative place where people with mental illness can be themselves and make their own choices. Members and staff run the Clubhouse together with a focus on individual talents, strengths, and abilities so that recovery is possible.
The foundation of the Clubhouse is the work-ordered day. When members arrive, they choose their work unit and decide which Clubhouse needs they would like to fulfill. QCC has 3 work units: Membership Services; Hospitality; and Programming, Advocacy, and Development (PAD).​

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
Instead of traditional talk therapy members and staff work side-by-side to complete the needs of the Clubhouse. Working together and sharing responsibility builds relationships focused on strength and empowerment. Healing and growing comes from doing.
Support and Community
Support includes assistance with housing, education, employment, and advocacy among other things. Members form meaningful and engaging connections with each other. Support and belongingness are key elements of the model.
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.
