Who We Are
Salamanders are extraordinarily resilient. Through harsh and dangerous conditions, they continue to adapt. Salamanders are a reminder that we can learn to grow, heal, and thrive, even while facing mental health or substance use challenges.
Meaningful Work
Salamander Clubhouse is structured around the “Work-Ordered Day.” Members identify talents, develop skills and build self-confidence by helping run the program. Tasks are tailored to members’ strengths and can include greeting visitors, writing newsletters, maintaining computers and welcoming new members. Staff work side-byside with members to operate Clubhouse. They are colleagues, cheerleaders and talent scouts, encouraging members to believe in themselves and achieve their recovery goals.
Relationships
Clubhouse uses meetings, work, socials and teambuilding trips to help members build connections with staff and peers. Membership is free and lasts a lifetime. You may stay in the program as long as you want and return whenever you want. No matter where you are on your mental health journey, you deserve a place to call your own.
Community Connections
Staff help you achieve recovery goals by connecting you to education, supportive employment, housing opportunities and other community resources. You can live independently, and Clubhouse staff and peers will support you every step of the way.

Salamander Clubhouse is a free, Community Center program for people living with severe mental illness. It’s a place where you can belong and build community.
