Issues For my Three Organizations

Green Door - http://www.greendoor.org/
http://www.greendoor.org/programs/clubhouse.htm
Clubhouse - A model used by Green Door to help people with mental illness that teaches them valuable work skills, gives them an opportunity to practice these work skills in actual work situations, and assists them in getting a job in the community. It also provides a supportive community in which members can receive services to help their recovery and to improve their well-being.


United States Department of Health and Human Services -
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
http://mentalhealth.samhsa.gov/

PATH - A program that provides mental health care to homeless individuals or those at risk of becoming homeless.


National Alliance on Mental Illness - http://www.nami.org/

Peer-to-Peer - An experiential education course for people with a mental illness that provides them with accurate, reliable information and prepares them to deal with the illness and symptoms that they are experiencing. The environment is supportive and non-judgmental, and it provides the group members a chance to relate to others who are going through similar issues.
