Independence Center – Steve Names
“Work is essential… it is the glue that binds us to society.”
– Bob Harvey, Founding Director of Independence Center
Work gives us purpose and connects us to those around us. It builds community and gives meaning to our lives. But for people with mental illnesses, it is difficult to find and keep a good job. Self-doubt and low self-esteem can be compounded by the terrible feelings that come with unemployment. Because of this, employment is one of the fundamental building blocks of the Clubhouse. Independence Center strives to give every person who wants it a chance to work at a real job.
