About Us
Welcome to Options Clubhouse
The Clubhouse model supports all individuals with mental illnesses to rejoin society and maintain their place in it; it builds on people's strengths, while providing mutual support from their peers.
The Clubhouse model helps meet the goals of our members by creating daily activities organized around a structured system known as the work-ordered day. Our goal is to work with members to identify short- and long-term goals focused on what we believe is the foundation of recovery, wellness, and independence. The members benefit from a non-clinical setting where their identity goes beyond their diagnosis. By sharing responsibility for critical work, members and staff build relationships focused on each other’s strengths and gifts, rather than weaknesses and liabilities.
Options Clubhouse's Service Model is the foundation of our mission and our everyday work. We are a community that provides opportunities for employment, education, housing, health and wellness, life skills, socialization, and community linkages. Our services support members on their recovery journey.

“The atmosphere that I love about [Options' clubhouse] is that it is family, it is judgment-free. I can come in here with a bad day and get the help and support from the members or from the staff.”
