Gathering Place Clubhouse: A Community of Recovery

The LBS Clubhouse provides a restorative, community-based environment designed specifically for adults managing mental health conditions. We believe that recovery is best achieved through meaningful work, strong relationships, and active community participation. By focusing on your unique strengths and talents rather than a diagnosis, our program empowers you to reclaim your independence and build a deeply fulfilling life in Wayne County.

A Proven Model for Psychosocial Rehabilitation

Our Clubhouse operates on an evidence-based, collaborative model where members and clinical staff work side by side to manage the daily operations of the program. This unique structure fosters a profound sense of belonging and mutual respect. Members are needed, wanted, and expected to contribute, creating a highly supportive atmosphere that naturally reduces isolation and builds self-esteem.

Fostering Independence and Lifelong Connections

Active participation in a Clubhouse environment has been shown to significantly reduce hospitalizations and reliance on crisis services. Members gain the confidence to navigate challenges, secure stable housing, and maintain healthy relationships. By providing a safe, entirely judgment-free zone, we give individuals the exact tools they need to thrive independently.
