Journey Center

The Journey Center Clubhouse is a place for individuals experiencing mental illness to regain the confidence and skills needed to lead productive and satisfying lives.  We support the belief that every person has a contribution to make that will assist in achieving the operations of the clubhouse while, at the same time, building self-empowerment.  Staff engages each member in “work-ordered day” tasks, driven by member interest, that focus on their strengths, talents, and abilities through a community of mutual support, positivity, and wellness. 

The Journey Center units include:

Business Affairs Unit: receptionist/clerical work, data collection and entry, in- house newsletter publication, computer skills, new member orientation and outreach, accessing employment/educational goals, and developing continuing education skills.

Growing Healthy Unit: cooking, meal planning, budgeting, gardening, wellness activities; our Bistro snack shop promotes cashier duties, stocking/inventory, and customer service skills.  

“The Journey of a thousand miles begins with just one step.” -Lao Tzu
