Clubhouse members and staff celebrate our new deck in August 2010
Welcome to the Capitol Clubhouse!
Our Clubhouse is a vocational rehabilitation program for adults with mental illness issues based on the clubhouse model of psychiatric rehabilitation.
Our mission is to improve the quality of life for those adults who experience mental illness by providing social, educational and employment opportunities.
The Clubhouse is a place where members can participate with dignity and respect. The members are wanted and needed by the Clubhouse Community. Participation by members is essential to the functioning of the Clubhouse. Membership is voluntary and lasts a lifetime.
About mental illness
It also strikes the young, and often goes undiagnosed and untreated for many years. It threatens lives everywhere: in America, more people die from suicide than from cancer, homicide or HIV/AIDS. And, it has a significant impact on human productivity, causing as many lost days of work as cancer, heart attacks or back pain.
However, mental illness is treatable. There is hope for people who have it. People can regain their mental health, but not with medication alone. The emergence around the world of Clubhouses such as ours are demonstrating that people with mental illness can successfully participate in society through education, employment and other social activities.
