"Even if medicine can stabilize someone’s mood, it can’t stabilize their financial, housing, or safety situations. Even if therapy can help someone change the way they think or behave, it can’t change the reality of a relapse and consequences like employment loss, broken relationships, isolation, loss of support systems, financial crisis, decreased sense of self-worth, homelessness, stigma, discrimination, and the list goes on. We need practical solutions, step-by-step guidance, connections to a caring community, much-needed resources, a place to belong where you’re allowed to be honest about your struggles instead of being embarrassed by them. Clubhouse meets needs I couldn’t articulate and didn’t know where to find. Thanks to you for welcoming us so warmly and filling the gap that we desperately needed." ~Kristi
