Outreach

"The Clubhouse provides an effective reach-out system to members who are not attending or who become isolated in the community, or to those who are hospitalized." (Standard #7 of the International Standards for Clubhouse Programs)

Part of Sky Light Center's daily work involves keeping in contact with all active members. When a member does not attend Sky Light or is in the hospital, an "outreach" call or visit is made. Each member is reminded that that he or she is missed, and welcome and needed at Sky Light. This process not only encourages members to participate, but it is also a way in which the clubhouse knows to provide extra support for members who are experiencing difficulties and may need extra help.
