Programs

Cirrus House offers opportunities to improve the lives of clubhouse members through:

The Community Support, Day Support and Day rehabilitation Programs are designed to provide these services.

Community Support

The Community Support Program promotes the ability of members to function in the community. Members receive assistance locating suitable and affordable housing. They also have opportunities to learn basic living skills, find appropriate medical care and receive support in a variety of other areas. Members select a Community Support staff to help with their needs. The member and staff create and implement a plan designed to meet those needs.

Day Support

Day Support is a less intensive service than Day Rehabilitation. Members in Day Support have opportunities for socialization and recreational activities. Day Support is frequently utilized prior to or after participation in Day rehabilitation.

Work Units
Cirrus House revolves around a word ordered day. A work environment provides for all parts of a person's life - skills, interests, relationships. CLubhouse work is real and meaningful because it arises from the actual needs of the members and the functioning of the clubhouse.

Each member develops a plan with their Personal Advocate that meets the member's goals. Some of the unit work includes:

Transitional Employment
Cirrus House strongly believes that members should have the opportunity to return to paid employment. The Day Rehabilitation Program promotes Transitional Employment (TE) which provides part time, time limited positions that belong to Cirrus House. TE can be a stepping stone from volunteer work in the clubhouse to competitive employment. It provides a chaconne for every Cirrus House member to experience success, personal pride, and earn money at the same time. The club offers total coverage for the employers with back-up by clubhouse staff.
