It is Giving Tuesday 💙

Today is about choosing to support the causes that matter and lifting up the people and places that make our community stronger. At Iris Clubhouse we see every day how much hope grows when someone has a safe place to belong. Members come in ready to learn new skills build confidence reconnect with their community and take steps toward employment and education. None of that happens without people who care.

Your support helps us provide a stable welcoming space for adults living with mental health challenges. It helps us keep our Work Ordered Day program thriving. It helps us open the door to new opportunities like supported employment and supported education. Most of all it helps every member know they are valued and not alone.

If you believe in creating a community where everyone has the chance to grow we would be grateful for your gift today. Even a small contribution or a simple share goes a long way in helping us continue this work.

Thank you for standing with us and believing in the power of community.

🌧️ Feeling the Winter Blues? You’re Not Alone 🌤️

As the days get shorter and colder, many people start to feel their mood shift. This is called Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) or seasonal depression. It’s more common than most people realize, and it’s nothing to be ashamed of. Your body and mind are reacting to less sunlight and changes in your daily rhythm.

Here are a few simple ways to care for yourself this season:

💡 Get some light
Try to spend time outside each day or sit by a bright window. A light therapy lamp can also help increase your energy and improve mood.

🏃 Move your body
Exercise in any form can lift your spirits and ease stress. Even a short walk can help.

☕ Stay nourished
Eat balanced meals with foods rich in Vitamin D, B12, and Omega-3s. These nutrients support brain health and emotional balance.

💊 Check your vitamins
Low Vitamin D levels are common during winter. Ask your doctor if a supplement could help you feel better.

🕯️ Build cozy routines
Warm drinks, soft lighting, and calming activities can make long evenings feel more peaceful.

💬 Stay connected
Reach out to friends, family, or visit the Clubhouse. Sharing time with others can make a big difference.

❤️ Ask for help when you need it
If you’re struggling, talk to a professional or join a peer support group. You don’t have to handle it alone.

Remember, your feelings are valid and the season will change. Light always returns, even after the darkest days. 💙

If you or someone you know is struggling this winter, Iris Clubhouse is here to offer connection, warmth, and hope. 🌻

🌿 World Mental Health Day 🌿

October 10th

Today, we join people all over the world in recognizing World Mental Health Day. A reminder that mental health is just as important as physical health, and that recovery and wellness grow strongest when we build them together.

At Iris Clubhouse, we believe community is the foundation of recovery. Every day, our members, staff, and supporters work side-by-side to create a place of belonging, purpose, and hope. On this day, we celebrate the courage of everyone on their journey, and we reaffirm our commitment to breaking stigma, supporting one another, and reminding our community:
✨ You are never alone. ✨

Let’s keep the conversation going, reach out, connect, and take a moment to care for your mind today. 💚

Please enjoy this video from clubhouse international about how connection works!

🌉✨ A Day at Ayres Natural Bridge ✨🌉

This September our members enjoyed a beautiful day together at Ayres Natural Bridge. From picnics and laughter to skipping rocks and exploring the riverbank, it was a chance to step away from the everyday and simply enjoy community in one of Wyoming’s most scenic spots.

At Iris Clubhouse, we know how important it is to stay connected not just during the week, but also on weekends and holidays. Outings like this make sure that all members, including those who work or go to school during the week, can join in, relax, and belong. 💜

We are grateful for the chance to share these moments together. Here’s to more days filled with friendship, nature, and hope. 🌿
