"Crossroads Clubhouse" is a psycho-social rehabilitation program for seriously
mentally ill adults. The Greenville Clubhouse is pictured here. In  all of the programs, the main focus is
to prepare consumers for eventual work placement in the community. Also, members
of the clubhouse learn or improve upon important social and interpersonal skills
which will enable them to meet goals that they have set for themselves. While at Clubhouse, consumers/members work in
various units (Kitchen, Snack Bar, Clerical, Maintenance, & Thrift Shop) in order to learn good work
habits, improve interpersonal skills, and develop increased personal responsibility. Clubhouse also provides socialization
opportunities through after-hour activities and functions. Members have an opportunity to obtain their GED
through the Clubhouse program. By participation in the Clubhouse program, we have found that consumers are less likely to
require more intensive services such as hospitalization or commitment.
