Chrysalis Clubhouse

The Chrysalis Clubhouse is a place where people with mental health challenges come to build relationships, work on employment and education goals, and support their individual recovery process. The Chrysalis Clubhouse welcomes people with different abilities, and is an inclusive non-judgmental environment. We are a community of individuals who share our experiences, struggles, and tips with mental health and substance use challenges to assist in our recovery.

The Chrysalis Clubhouse adds to the Chrysalis service programs by offering a space for members to build friendships and skills, get and give support, share ideas, and experiences.

The Chrysalis Clubhouse has two primary focus areas:

  • Career Development: supports education and employment goals, promotes digital literacy, written and verbal communication, self-advocacy
  • Wellness: builds skills around healthy eating and movement, fosters budgeting and financial literacy, encourages teamwork around meal prep and clean up

Staff and members of the Clubhouses are referred to as colleagues and work side by side to develop programming that supports meaningful work and meaningful relationships. The Chrysalis Clubhouse formed in 2020 and is a proud member of Clubhouse International, an organization that helps support Clubhouse development around the world.

A warm welcome from staff and members of Chrysalis Clubhouse.
