AIM Center, Inc.

AIM Center, Inc. We are non-medical and non-clinical, however, we work in concert with other professionals to provide comprehensive mental health services.

The AIM Center clubhouse provides psychosocial rehabilitation services to create hope, community and social change to enrich and celebrate the lives of people living with serious mental illness. AIM Center is a nonprofit mental health program offering employment, education, housing, socialization, and wellness opportunities for adults living with serious mental illness. Our focus is recovery! What makes us unique to the region? Utilizing a psychosocial rehabilitation model known as the "Clubhouse program," the AIM Center allows Clubhouse members to develop relationships and create an individual recovery plan, whilst working side by side with other program participants and staff. Since 1989, we have helped over 3,000 adults in the Chattanooga community lead a full and meaningful life, while living with serious mental illness. Each day 75 to 100 participants, called Clubhouse members, come to the AIM Center to engage in recovery activities. By working together with staff and other members, individuals begin to feel needed and accepted, discover their strengths and abilities, and develop relationships based on mutual respect and shared contributions. AIM Center members have equal voices in all facets of the Clubhouse ‘s operations including planning leisure activities, hiring staff, making decisions about policies and procedures, and having input into the long-range planning of the Clubhouse. Services provided outside the Clubhouse model promote community integration, which includes transitional and supported employment, supported education, supported housing, and leisure activities. The program is open to persons with a diagnosed psychiatric disorder who are 18 years of age or older. Membership to AIM Center is without time limits, so individuals may return to AIM Center whenever they need or want additional support.

“AIM Center is a safe haven. I can show up and be myself without any judgment.”

Meet Jack, a newer member of the Clubhouse who joined this past fall and has fully embraced just about everything the Clubhouse has to offer! Oftentimes, you can find him leading business unit meetings, behind the news desk for AIM TV, giving tours to potential new members, or simply lending a helping hand to anyone who needs it.

When we asked Jack what surprised him most about the Clubhouse, he shared how many changes he has seen within himself since joining. He was iffy at first, not entirely knowing what to expect, but since becoming a member, he has unlocked parts of himself he didn't know were locked.

If you take away one thing from Jack, he wants you to know this: it’s hard to be yourself when your mind wants you to be someone else. It is important to remind yourself that you are who you are, and that is what makes you unique. 🧡

Heads up! The AIM Center clubhouse will be closed to the public today in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

On this day, we honor the life and legacy of Dr. King, whose vision of justice, equality, and community continues to inspire us all. 💬 “Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?’” – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

And for those of you who signed up for the social today, we'll see you at 11 AM!

Did somebody say Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls? 👀

Chef of the Day is a fun and engaging way for members to get involved in the Wellness Unit here at the Clubhouse! It gives members the opportunity to run the kitchen for the day and feed the Clubhouse some truly delicious food.

Not only is this a practical way for members to gain hands-on kitchen experience, but it is also a meaningful and tasty way to connect with the entire Clubhouse, whether by cooking a favorite meal or trying something new they have been wanting to learn. Members who are Chef of the Day quite literally run the show, from planning the menu and shopping for supplies to working with the Wellness Unit to bring the meal to life.

We host Chef of the Day several times a week, and members really enjoy the opportunity. Today, Justina stepped into the role and prepared fried rice, a veggie egg roll, and arguably the most exciting part, a Philly cheesesteak egg roll! 😋

Justina is very involved in the Wellness Unit, is often Chef of the Day, and loves cooking and feeding her Clubhouse community! 🧡

The Business Unit stays busy at AIM Center, and reach outs is an important part of the meaningful work we do each day. 🤝

When we say “AIM Center family,” what does that really mean to us? Reach outs is a key part of our work-ordered day and one way we stay connected to community members we may not have seen around the Clubhouse in a while. Many of us are out in the community achieving goals, so we might not be in the Clubhouse every day. When we haven’t seen or heard from someone in a while, it’s important to check in and let them know they’re missed.

Maybe someone recently had a birthday, so we send a birthday card. Maybe someone was recently hospitalized, so we send a get-well card. Sometimes we simply want to check in, and as a unit we identify those folks and give them a phone call.

Reach outs like this is a vital part of the Clubhouse model and mental health recovery. It’s also a simple reminder that your AIM Center family is thinking of you. 🧡

From the AIM Center community, we wish you a happy new year filled with support, recovery, and hope. ✨🧡If you’re joining...

Did you know that the Clubhouse is open on all major holidays?

Holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day are days when our Clubhouse remains open for our AIM community. For anyone who wants or needs a place to spend the day, celebrate, and connect with friends, the Clubhouse doors are open!

We know how isolating holidays can be and how isolation can make mental health recovery even more challenging. That's why it's so important for us to come together on these days to share meals, spend quality time, and simply be in community with one another. 🧡

Enjoy these photos from our most recent Christmas Day social! ✨
