I joined Our Place Clubhouse the third week of January this year. I heard about it through my home health agency. At first it was difficult, because I didn’t really know anybody, but then after a few weeks it got easier, because I received support from members and staff. I consider my best accomplishment so far to be working in the Clubhouse ReThreads Thrift Store and learning how to use the cash register. I meet new people, and I am able to show my friendly side with the customers. I am considering participating in the Work Adjustment Training at Café 54. I would suggest coming to the Clubhouse, because you can express yourself, nobody judges you, and there’s lots of support.
This interview will also appear in the April 2022 issue of the Our Place Clubhouse newsletter.
