Programs

The Work Ordered Day

The work ordered day revolves around four distinctive units: Culinary, Home & Garden, Creative Design and Connections and Resources. Members and staff work side by side as colleagues contributing to the day to day operations of the clubhouse. The work is meaningful, member driven, and essential to the clubhouse; relying on the strengths of our members and reflecting the belief that everyone has something to contribute.

Creative Design

Creative Design

A collaborative space where ideas come to life. Members contribute to marketing materials, social media, newsletters, and creative projects that support the clubhouse’s voice and visibility in the community.

Culinary Skills

Culinary Skills

From meal planning to preparation and hospitality, members work together to create nutritious meals that nourish both body and connection. The Culinary unit supports daily operations while building teamwork and life skills.

Home & Garden

Home & Garden

Members help maintain and enhance our physical space through organization, beautification, gardening, and facility support. This unit fosters pride, responsibility, and care for our shared clubhouse environment.

Supported Education

Supported Education

Members pursuing educational goals receive individualized support, encouragement, and practical assistance. Whether earning a GED, certification, or degree, we walk alongside members in their academic journey.

Transitional Employment

Transitional Employment

Through time-limited, community-based job placements, members gain paid work experience with the support of clubhouse staff. Transitional Employment builds confidence, skills, and a pathway toward long-term career success.

After Hours

After Hours

Connection doesn’t stop at 5 PM. After Hours programming offers social events, wellness activities, and community outings that build friendships, reduce isolation, and strengthen belonging.

Community Resource

Community Resource

This unit connects members to vital services and opportunities in the broader community. From housing and healthcare navigation to employment resources, we help members access the tools they need to thrive.
They don’t just do their jobs; they meet people where they’re at, listen without judgment, and consistently offer support in ways that make you feel valued and seen. Their kindness isn’t performative- it’s woven into the culture of the entire organization

Within the first six months of being at Community 43, I stopped self-harming every two weeks. It went from every three months to six months, then to a year- the first time in a long time that I had freedom from using self-harm as a way to cope with my problems.

Community 43 is a wonderful and unique clinic. The atmosphere is friendly and inviting. The staff is very professional and they treat you like family instead of a patient. This “clubhouse” model of operation allows its members to thrive and grow while cultivating their creative talents through music, computer science, art and creative writing. These fundamentals are so powerful on the journey of healing. This place is a community and the members and staff are very supportive of one another
