Our Values
Hope Centre believes that every member struggling with mental illness should be given the resources and supports to succeed and recover from the effects of their mental illness.
Clubhouses are here to support people in living personally and socially satisfying lives by contributing to society.
Hope Centre is dedicated to the success of our members no matter how long it takes or how difficult it may be.
Commitment to our Members
Clubhouse is designed to be a safe, inclusive space for all members attending. It is a place where a person living with a mental illness is not treated as patient and is not defined by a disability label.
In a Clubhouse, people are a valued participant and colleague. Each member of the Clubhouse plays an integral role in contributing to the success of the Clubhouse community as whole.
