The clubhouse model emphasizes working relationships
as the key elements in assisting members in recovery.
When people join the clubhouse, they are asked to
choose one of our three work units as their home base.
In the work units, staff and members work side by side
to complete all the tasks of the clubhouse. Members
and staff work in partnership to complete all work
ranging from designing the web site to creating the
newsletter to running our café.
The work of the clubhouse is voluntary, but there is
always activity going on that creates a high expectation
of member involvement. This energy and excitement for
the important work of the clubhouse is often what draws
a member into doing things they had not imagined
before joining Haverhill Clubhouse. As members are
involved in clubhouse activities, they discover their
strengths, talents and abilities.
