The Mosaic House clubhouse is a psychiatric rehabilitation service for people experiencing
mental health challenges. The clubhouse is certified by the International Center
for Clubhouse Development (ICCD). It is increasingly realized that rehabilitation
for men and women with severe mental illness is best achieved through recovery-oriented
services, such as Mosaic House provides.
Within the house, people are offered opportunities for self-help, and taking charge
of their lives, through jobs, education, and socialization.
Mosaic House is organized into work units managed by the members who take responsibility
for the daily operation of the clubhouse. Mosaic House units include Administration,
Food Services, and Education and Employment. Working in the units allows members
not only to develop job skills, but to perform real work valued by the Mosaic House
Community. Members regain a sense of self-worth and find they are needed, wanted,
and valued.
The Clubhouse arranges for members to obtain transitional employment placement for
up to a nine month period, after which, another member fills the position. The clubhouse
supports people engaged in Competitive Employment as well as post-secondary education.
