Independence Center is a unique evidence-based program built on the international Clubhouse model of psychosocial rehabilitation. The Clubhouse is an innovative, non-traditional approach to recovery that builds self-esteem through relationships in a working community for adults with mental illness. Participants are known as members, as opposed to patients or clients. A Clubhouse is a place to find acceptance, belonging and purpose -an antidote to isolation. Fighting societal stigma, we strive to empower individuals to reach their potential by offering employment, education, wellness, and social opportunities.
When you come through the doors of Independence Center, you might be surprised by what you see. Housed inside, you'll find a resale shop, financial center, fully equipped restaurant-style kitchen with a large dining area, wellness center, and a host of other amenities. Independence Center is bright, open, and welcoming. It's bustling with activity, and you can't tell members from staff because they work side by side. That's all by design. If you've ever been inside a Clubhouse partnership-model program, you know you've come home.
