Genesis Club is work-focused community of hope and dignity where mental health recovery is possible.

Genesis Club opened its doors on September 15, 1988 with 25 members. Twelve months prior, a committed and passionate Board of Directors decided that the city of Worcester should have a free-standing Clubhouse community. This decision was made after a visit to Fountain House in New York City, the first clubhouse model in the country. From a modest beginning, Genesis Club has developed a highly recognized Accredited Clubhouse with Clubhouse International that is an Evidenced Based Practice with the US Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Genesis Club offers vocational training, education, employment, housing, wellness and social supports to over 550 members each year. Most importantly, Genesis Club offers a community of hope and dignity where recovery is possible. Genesis Club is one of twelve training centers of Clubhouse International. Since that time, the Genesis International Training Center has trained over 300 Clubhouses, 2000 colleagues from 35 states and 16 countries. Genesis Club strives to be a leading community partner with Worcester employers, landlords, families, colleges/universities and health care providers.

Join us in congratulating James, a member of the Environmental and Facilities Unit at the Clubhouse, on getting his driver’s license!

James and his family are very excited by this milestone. He told us, “I can be more helpful to my family and my loved ones.” His next goal is to save enough money to buy a reliable used car to drive to work, but in the meantime, he’ll now be able to rent a car when the need arises. James, we can’t wait to see where this new road takes you!

On Tuesday of this week, Genesis Club celebrated Veteran’s Day!
Forty-five members joined us for a special, free- to veterans- lunch, featuring GI Sloppy Joes. The Business Unit created a short video which highlighted veteran members and the branch in which they served. To each and every one of our veterans, we thank you for your service!

Today Genesis Club honors the service, sacrifice, and bravery of our Veterans. 1 in 3 veterans live with some form of depression, anxiety, and PTSD, yet many are hesitant to seek traditional mental health support. The Clubhouse is a welcoming, stigma-free community that honors everyone's experience. Veterans are welcome here!

Last week, the Central Mass Area Office of the Department of Mental Health (DMH) honored their employees at a lively luncheon. Among those recognized were two Genesis Club members, Marina and Jasmin. Genesis CLub is proud to partner with DMH in our transitional employment program which provides members the opportunity to transition back into the workforce. With the right support and a caring community, everyone living with mental health challenges can be successful in the workplace! Well done, Marina and Jasmin!

Today we say farewell to our colleagues visiting from Baybridge Clubhouse (Hyannis, MA), Clubhouse Community of Hope (Aiken, SC), Anchor House Clubhouse (New Bedford, MA), Looking Ahead Clubhouse (Lewiston, ME) and Aspire House (San Mateo, CA). After two weeks of participating in Comprehensive Clubhouse Training, and engaging in units and the work-ordered day, these colleagues have sharpened their skills and are ready to move their Clubhouses forward!. Thank you for training with us. We wish you and your Clubouses all the best!

Congratulations, Bill on starting a Transitional Employment (TE) job with our newest employment partner, Peabody Plumbing Supply! This new position will provide Bill and future members the opportunity to return to work after an extended absence. Bill was hired because of his strong desire to get back to work, and because the shifts wouldn’t conflict with his classes at QCC. He recently said about working again, “I’m happy for the opportunity to build my resume as well as help the Clubhouse grow this new relationship with Peabody Plumbing.” We wish Bill all the best! And remember, if you need plumbing supplies, check out Peabody Plumbing in Auburn!

Last week we welcomed Emma, Hannah, Daniel, and Mauricio to the Clubhouse. They are part of the UMass Chan Medical School Psychiatry Student Interest Group and are exploring psychiatry as their specialty. They spent the week in the Kitchen Unit, often considered the heart of the Clubhouse, to learn first-hand how side-by-side work promotes mental health recovery. We wish you all the best as you complete your medical training. We enjoyed having you with us!

Last week, Matt presented on a panel about his experience at QCC as a non-traditional student. The goal of the Pathways to Opportunities Breakfast was to give high school students an idea about college life and what type of support new students can access at the school and in the community. Matt said of his participation,
“It was meaningful to me because I struggled academically in high school and needed special accommodations. I wanted others to see that you can work through your barriers and have a successful academic experience.”

This week Genesis Club, in partnership with UMASS Chan Medical School’s Clinical and Research Program, hosted a walk-in wellness fair. Members and staff lined up to get blood pressure screenings, body composition screenings, and information on local health and wellness resources. The event was well attended and prompted lots of conversations about healthy choices and how to support each other’s wellness journeys.

We are deeply grateful to our friends and long-time partners at UMass Chan Medical School and the UMass Mind program.

Many thanks to The Schwartz Charitable Foundation for their generous support of our Older Adult Program.

Join us in congratulating Genesis Club members, Jean and Andre for starting new Transitional Employment positions with Chartwells Higher Education Dining Services (WPI).

Congratulations to you both and we can’t wait to see what’s next on your employment journeys!
