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.
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.
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.
Members engage in vital tasks necessary to run the Clubhouse, including clerical work, culinary duties, data entry, and program administration. This builds practical skills and establishes a healthy daily routine.
Re-entering the workforce is a primary goal for many members. We offer dedicated pathways including Transitional Employment, Supported Employment, and Independent Employment to help you secure and maintain meaningful jobs with local businesses.
Continuing your education is an extremely powerful step in recovery. Our team assists members with navigating adult education programs, tutoring, and enrolling in vocational or college courses.
Building strong friendships is essential for long-term mental wellness. We host engaging evening, weekend, and holiday social programming to ensure our members always have a vibrant support network.
Physical and mental health are closely connected. The Clubhouse integrates nutrition planning, fitness activities, and general wellness education into our daily culture.
