This past Wednesday, Genesis Club welcomed members and staff from Seacoast Clubhouse (Portsmouth, NH) and Manchester Clubhouse (Manchester, NH) for a one-day immersive visit. They joined our morning meeting, engaged with Genesis Club members and staff in our 6 units. Their day concluded with a conversation about their experience and key learnings. We are happy to share best practices with one another, and we look forward to seeing exciting growth in New Hampshire!

Thank you, Perpetual Trust for Charitable Giving, for supporting our Career Development Program! More than 85% of people living with a serious mental illness are cut out of the workforce. Our Career Development program helps members defy those odds and offers opportunities for people to obtain competitive employment, return to school and create a career path for themselves. Thank you Perpetual Trust, for this generous grant, and for helping to keep our Career Development program a thriving success!

Join us in thanking our friends at the Reliant Foundation for their generous support of our Zero Stigma Project! Zero Stigma works to eliminate misconceptions about mental illness and people living with mental health conditions. When members enter the workforce, return to school, or volunteer in the community, or when we participate in community events, we are normalizing the conversation and creating awareness around the fact that people are so much more than their diagnosis. We’re grateful to have such an informed, forward-thinking partner in this work!

Twenty runners and walkers from Genesis Club gathered at the starting line for the first road race of the year, the Celtic 5K! It was a cold and windy Sunday morning, but the weather didn’t quell the team’s enthusiasm.

Genesis Club subsidizes the registration fee for five local road races over the spring and summer, to help foster good health and camaraderie. The team enjoyed Saint Patrick's Day festivities after the race. Congratulations, Team Genesis! Look for them at the Firefighters 6K Road Race in June!

On Wednesday the 11th, representatives from the Seacoast Clubhouse, Manchester Clubhouse, and Granite Pathways visited our fellow clubhouse colleagues at the Genesis Club in Worcester Massachusetts. We joined in on their morning meeting, toured their space, engaged in side-by-side work with members and staff, enjoyed lunch, and learned their routines and ways of operating. We'll be discussing ways to edit, implement the strategies we learned there at our Clubhouses. Thank you for having us, Genesis Club!

Genesis Club was proud to join the Massachusetts Clubhouse Coalition on February 12th for the Legislative Day of Action. Our goal was to talk with local policy makers about the impact Clubhouses make in the Commonwealth. Our team (Allison, Jim and Ted) was well prepared and warmly welcomed into the offices of State Senators and Representatives from our area. Members shared their personal experiences and how Genesis Club made a difference in their lives. After the visits they grabbed lunch across the street from the Statehouse and reflected on their experiences. For some it was the first time visiting the State House. It was a rewarding and fun time, and one that helped build our advocacy muscles!

Here’s another reason to love (and shop) TJMaxx! The TJX Foundation recently awarded us with a grant to help members return to work, with a special focus on helping young adults prepare for the workforce. The TJX Foundation helps people access the resources and opportunities they need to build better futures. Thank you, TJX! Together, we are changing people’s lives!

Join us in thanking The Fred Harris Daniels Foundation for their support of our Career Development Program! The Fred Harris Daniels Foundation is a private, family-run foundation based in Worcester, and has been supporting sustainable, creative solutions to Worcester's most pressing societal challenges.

Hard work pays off and Dave getting his car back and on the road, is proof! David came to the Clubhouse last fall at a very difficult time in his life. He was struggling to find stable housing, find adequate work, and manage his spiraling mental health. But through hard work, a positive attitude, and the support of Genesis Club, Dave is rising above his challenges. He landed a permanent job which he enjoys and that values his skills. After saving for a few months, he got his car back on the road. He also just secured a new apartment. Congratulations David! Your journey is so inspiring, and a real example of how Clubhouse works!

This year marks the 100th anniversary of Black History Month, initiated by historian Carter G. Woodson in 1926, often referred to as the “Father of Black History.” . While celebrating the accomplishments of Black Americans, we also recognize how far we have to go in creating a society that dismantles the structures and systems that marginalize Black, indigenous, and people of color in this country.
