Grand Avenue Club’s Mission is to provide people who have experienced mental illness with opportunities for work, housing, education, recreation and friendship. [We are NOT a "CLINIC" offering "THERAPY."] Program participants are not clients, customers or patients: They are “members.” When they join the program, they are offered immediate membership in a community that needs and values their talents, interests and services. Members and staff run the program together. Working with local employers, Grand Avenue Club develops paid positions for members of the club. Our goal is to help people recovering from mental illness to become integrated into the community.
