It isn’t always all work no play at the Clubhouse. We love to have fun as much as we can. We do that by having weekday and weekend socials where we go out in the community to cool places and other times we stay in and make fun food, watch a movie or make arts and crafts. Enjoy!

Welcome to the first of many podcasts from our Clubhouse in Waltham, MA.
A Clubhouse is a community-based service dedicated to supporting and empowering people living with mental illness. Our Clubhouse offers a collaborative, restorative environment where Clubhouse members can recover by gaining access to opportunities for employment, socialization, education, skill development, housing and improved wellness.
Organized around the belief that every individual has something valuable to contribute to society, Clubhouses effectively help people build self- confidence and end the social and economic isolation so often associated with mental illness. This podcast highlights those efforts and is recorded and produced by Clubhouse members.
