ACTS Clubhouse

ACTS Clubhouse is the first psychosocial Clubhouse helping adults seeking mental health recovery in Hillsborough County. Through the end of 2023, the members are meeting three times a week before meeting daily. Acts Clubhouse is an affiliate of the Clubhouse International model assisting members to learn practical skills performing tasks in a work-ordered day and build meaningful relationships with peers. There are many things to do at a Clubhouse. The different types of activities are divided in to the following categories: Work- Ordered Day: includes many projects that are important to Clubhouse members. The workday includes opportunities to do things like clerical and computer work, telephone work, food service, building maintenance and clean up, research, audio visual production projects, newsletter preparation, budget management, Clubhouse administration, member transportation services, mental health advocacy, etc. An Employment Program: involves how the Clubhouse helps members get and keep paid jobs. An Education Program: involves how the Clubhouse helps members enroll in and complete education programs, including College and other degree programs. An Evening, Weekend and Holiday Social and Recreational Program: includes activities where Clubhouse members and staff have fun together and build friendships. Each Clubhouse chooses and organizes the activities and work that are needed and wanted by the members of that particular Clubhouse. Most have some version of the above activities. Every Clubhouse will have low-cost meals, meaningful work, employment and education programs, and fun. Members may participate in as much or as little as they want to in any of the Clubhouse activities. There are no requirements about the amount of participation. At Clubhouses, we recognize that members come to us at various points in their lives and recovery. One member might want to come to the Clubhouse every day and be involved in many activities, while another may only want to come and get help with employment. Some members may just want to come once in a while until they are ready to do more. Each member determines his or her own level of participation. For adults with a diagnosed mental illness including but not limited to: schizophrenia, bi-polar disorder, depression, anxiety, high functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADD/ADHD, OCD, and dual diagnosis substance use disorders. Those with personality disorders, violent or sexual offenses will be assessed on a case by case basis. ACTS Clubhouse is unable to assist those with intellectual disabilities, severe autism spectrum disorder, and brain injuries.
