Evergreen Club            

The Evergreen Clubhouse, which is certified by the International Center for Club House Development, provides both rehabilitation and vocational services for members with a severe psychiatric disability. It uses work as central to the rehabilitation process. The member first participates in an assessment to determine employment history and interests and then chooses one of three discrete work units in which to work. These units consist of the café, thrift store, and the business unit. The members are able to develop meal preparation skills, organizational and budgeting skills, clerical skills, and to participate in and learn administrative tasks.

Most consumers/members at the Evergreen Club have Mental Health Care Providers at SMH or other SCRSN agencies. The MHCP's and the Rehabilitation Specialists collaborate with one another initially and on an on-going basis.

Education is available for those members who are interested in independent or transitional employment. This education consists of assistance in learning how to write resumes, fill-out applications, and interview for and locate jobs.

The Evergreen Club is open to its members Monday through Friday from 8:30 - 4:30. In addition, it is open on Wednesday evenings and Saturdays for drop-in activities, socialization and special events in the community. The clubhouse is also open four holidays per year.
