Corner Clubhouse Gazette

In July, This Program Director, the Clubhouse Assistant Program Director: Amy Fermi,

and member: Jenna Parks, attended Clubhouse International’s two-week training program, in preparation

for Corner Club’s upcoming accreditation visit in January 2017. Corner Clubhouse mem-

bers and staff continue to be involved with the Massachusetts Clubhouse Coalition, and we

attended their annual conference and committee meetings. This director serves on the

board for the MCC, and our employment coordinator, Hannah Goodreau, is on the employ-

ment subcommittee. Both the MCC and CI continue to educate DMH on the importance of

having international standards for clubhouses, (which have been certified as “evidence-

based” programs). DMH has continued to sponsor DMH/Clubhouse meetings and train-

ings, which has greatly assisted us to have a better understanding of the required reporting

necessary for the clubhouse contract, as well as educating DMH about the vast array of

services that the clubhouse offers to members. One of the performance measures that

DMH is most interested in is our employment successes. Corner Clubhouse has remained

in the top five for competitive employment placements for the past 15 months! Six addi-

tional employment placements were secured by members from July 16—Dec. 16. On the

social side of programming, members were able to take advantage of some great summer

socials this past summer, as well as Clubhouse Connection events in the community.

Holiday dinners and parties were enjoyed by all. Going into 2017, we would like to wish

everyone a very happy, healthy New Year! Karen Therrien, Program Director

We’re baaaaaack! After a several-month hiatus, the Corner Clubhouse Gazette

is back in publication! We are pleased to announce that the program has fully-

recovered from the flood of July 2016. It has been business as usual since we

re-occupied our space in September. Members arrived on opening day, jaws

dropped with delight, to see a bright ,shiny, interior with a new paint job

throughout the building, new lighting, new floors , and all new IT equipment.

They stated that although they enjoyed and appreciated their time at the Fall

River, Towne House, and being serviced out in the community, “It felt good to

be home.” We were very happy to see that everyone of of our member’s that

were active before the temporary program closure, returned to regular

Attendance within weeks of our doors opening. So much has taken place in the

past six months, so we have done our best to summarize the highlights of the

last half of 2016.

Greenhouse/Clubhouse Connections Sean took a group of members to the

Greenhouse in the morning ,during one

of our social events. The greenhouse

still had many plants and Halloween

decorations for sale. Some of the

members were able to pick their own

tomatoes and one of the

workers was nice enough to

give us a Halloween decorat-

Community Connections Is a big part of clubhouses integrating members with the peers in the

community. We have had a variety of events this past summer and

Holiday Season, and the members state that these events are one of the

things they enjoy most about being a clubhouse member. Let the good

times roll!

Below: Members are enjoying themselves at Clubhouse and Fall River Regional Connection

events. Top left to right and bottom: Nami Walk, Clubhouse and FR Region Cookout at Colt

State Park, FR Regional Halloween Party, and Clubhouse connections Dinner and Bright Nights

at LaSallette Shrine, Attleboro.

During the month of December, Corner Clubhouse learned

that we will sadly will have to say goodbye to the TSH Greenhouse

that the FHR clubhouse members and staff were working at, for the

past several years. December 31st, was the official last day that the

greenhouse was open, under FHR management. We would like to

thank all of the members that worked there for many years, (Donald,

Damon, Gary, Gerry, and Helen), and the most recent greenhouse

manger, (Michelle H.), for their hard work and dedication. FHR had

an award ceremony for these members at C.C., and everyone of them

received a horticultural certificate of achievement and appreciation!
