For Adults

CLUBHOUSE PROGRAM

The Clubhouse program is a psycho-social rehabilitation program that focuses on the recovery of individuals who have experienced mental illness. As an ICCD Clubhouse Model program, we use a holistic approach and focus on an individual’s strengths, talents and skills. We provide our members with the opportunity to set personal goals, access supports (education, employment, housing) and become members of a supportive and restorative community. Click on the locations of each Clubhouse to read more about their individual programs and services – Charlottetown, Summerside, Alberton.
