EXPERIENCE LEXINGTON HOUSE

I got started with the Clubhouse model about 12 years ago. Ever since then I have really loved the model for so many reasons. I like it because it doesn't focus on people's illnesses, but on your strengths, also that it is not a medical model. I feel Clubhouse has helped me in many different ways. I have felt I have gotten so much support from the people there and have gotten to do some things that I have never thought I would ever do. It has helped my mental health so much by just being open and being able for me to come whenever I feel I need a place to go to get out of the house. It has helped my isolation a lot and loneliness as well. Clubhouse has helped me grow. I don't know where I would be if there was not a Clubhouse around. I don't think I would be doing as well as I am if there wasn't a Clubhouse. Clubhouses are needed everywhere!!!

I wish we had a Clubhouse where I used to live, because we needed something on how to do things like workorder days. I love being at the Clubhouse as it helps me learn things, make friends, do financial stuff, and reach out. We have a great staff and I like doing stuff with  them.  I like the socials, as they are  really great. I really enjoy 5 Star and the Jazz Fest. I’m a fun person with a great deal of  and I think positive about Clubhouse. I feel great being here.

The impact that Lexington House has made on me before I joined, I was very alone and  depressed. I just got over the worst bout in my life and they welcomed me in and they   became my friends. Without them I would probably be at my wit’s end, alone and sad. It has made me happy and with   purpose.
