Potential Place Society
Potential Place is an accredited Clubhouse dedicated to maintaining a community for individuals with mental illness through participation, personal development, and individual empowerment. Through our structured work-ordered day we utilize the talents and abilities of members working side-by-side with staff to run the operations of our Clubhouse. Potential Place provides advocacy for employment, housing, entitlements and education. As a Clubhouse International accredited organization, we are proud to provide an environment focused on support, mentorship, and personal growth. It is these areas of focus that have earned us our second 3 year unconditional accreditation (the highest available) from Clubhouse International. We are defined by our values of acceptance, empowerment, and egalitarianism. What We Do: Potential Place is a non-profit mental health agency dedicated to improving the lives of people with chronic mental illness. We hope to help our members lead productive and rewarding lives. We work to maintain a vibrant community of individuals seeking to overcome barriers presented by mental illness. Through participation, personal development, and individual empowerment, we give people the tools they need to create a sustainable, fulfilling lifestyle at work and at home. We seek out employment opportunities for our members through initiatives like our Employment Program* and provide ongoing support, coaching, and mentorship to our members. Potential Place advocates for housing for our members. In addition we have two small apartment buildings that house 25 members who live independently. The YAOP (Young Adults of Potential) provides the opportunity for peer to peer engagement between young adults transitioning from youth programs into adult programming. The age range of our young adults are from 18 to 32 years. Learn more about becoming a member, and follow us on social media.
