Clubhouse fundraising has become increasingly critical for our programing during a time of economic uncertainty and changes in mental health services.
Founded in 1990, Connections Clubhouse is a day program aimed at aiding those living with symptoms of mental health/brain health in their recovery efforts including providing meaningful opportunities for building relationships, a meaningful place to come and return to, opportunities for meaningful daily activities including employment, as well as opportunities for leisure and wellness. Our program is part of Catawba Valley Healthcare that provides ongoing community supports for adults with mental illness. Connections is located in Newton and provides services to over 50 Clubhouse members. Our program offers a work-ordered day which focuses on skill development and the building of self-confidence and relationship building. We assist participants with accessing employment, education, socialization, and greater independent living. These supports offer opportunities, and they offer hope to our Clubhouse members.
Mental illness can be very disabling and can shatter lives. BUT, with the help from our community, the Connections program actively provides supports for members to rebuild and reclaim their lives. Connections is a welcoming place where people are accepted and valued as individuals and not labeled by the stigmas associated with mental illness. Members gain the confidence and skills necessary to lead fulfilling lives of THEIR choice in the community.
