The NAMI Greater Bloomington Area Chapter, Centerstone, and Clubhouse International are teaming up to bring a Clubhouse to Bloomington! We are looking for volunteers to join our planning team and make this a reality.
What is Clubhouse? The Clubhouse is a world-renowned, evidence-based community where individuals with severe mental illness (called "members") get their needs met and also feel needed as well. Following a "work-ordered day", members voluntarily work in various units to support the maintenance and growth of the clubhouse. Through this, the members gain an uplifting community, an individual sense of purpose, and opportunities to learn skills and reach goals. Bloomington is one of the largest cities in Indiana without a clubhouse, so let's make one happen!
s we get the Clubhouse off the ground, we are actively looking to:
1) Get passionate individuals to join our team in bringing this to life!
2) Spread the word to providers, organizations, employers, funders, and individuals with mental health difficulties and their families.
