Salo Clubhouse is a community for working-aged individuals who currently experience, or have previously experienced, a mental health condition.
The Clubhouse operates as a membership-based community, consisting of individuals in mental health rehabilitation (referred to as ”members”) and a professional staff. The rehabilitation model is work-oriented and follows the internationally recognized Fountain House model. The primary goals are to improve the quality of life for members, reduce the need for hospitalization, and support the transition back to education or employment.
Both members and staff are involved in the planning, development, and execution of the Clubhouse’s activities. Membership is voluntary and does not entail any obligations. A medical referral is not required to join. The Clubhouse offers work-oriented activities and peer support tailored to each individual’s personal needs. Membership is free of charge, and there is no time limit on participation. After attending four introductory visits, individuals can apply for membership.
It is important to note that the Clubhouse is not a treatment facility. Instead, it complements other mental health services.
Facilities at Salo Clubhouse include a kitchen and an IT and administration unit.
In the kitchen, members can purchase an affordable lunch daily, and we also operate a cafeteria.
The IT and administration unit manages the reception, produces the Clubhouse magazine, and keeps records of the Clubhouse’s activities and usage.
