A special thank you to Megan Kelly and KLFY for their support with FOCUS Clubhouse. Megan was an absolute delight! Her interest in our community is an excellent example of how everyone should be involved.
We wish to clarify: We are not a medical facility nor are we treating any illnesses in a medical capacity. A Clubhouse is a social atmosphere where like-minded people gather to accomplish meaningful work on a peer to peer level. This not only assists in their day to day abilities, but additionally teaches them socialization skills. |
"Insight Into Mental Health" Guest Appearances
|
Clarice Gallegos appears on the local Acadiana show, "Insight Into Mental Health" for the first time, Thursday, July 18, 2019, to introduce her new non-profit, FOCUS Clubhouse, modeled after Clubhouse International, a non profit to aid those who suffer with mental illness. After a group of gentlemen were released from a psychiatric hospital in New York City, they recognized the positive influence of having a place to meet and socialize with their peers. Fountain House was founded in 1948 leading the way to assist those who suffer with mental illness.
|
FOCUS Clubhouse will make appearances on the show every 5 or 6 weeks to keep the public informed on their progress.
