💙 Clubhouse Giving Day is Coming! 💙

In honor of Threshold’s 40th Anniversary, we were given the opportunity to raise $40,000 through a generous matching gift from Jonathan Beard and Grace Nordhoff-and thanks to your support, we’ve already reached $20,000!

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, they are sponsoring a campaign to help us reach our full goal-and as part of this effort, Threshold will be participating in Clubhouse Giving Day for the first time alongside Clubhouses across the country. Clubhouse Giving Day is a global effort that raises both funds and awareness for the life-changing work of the Clubhouse Model.

All funds raised will go directly toward supporting care coordination for our members, including medical and psychiatric appointments, outreach, and employment support. Help us continue to fill the critical gaps in services and support our members on their path to independence.

Stay tuned for more details on how you can be part of it!

Stay tuned to see all that we have planned in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month as we continue to spread the word about the Clubhouse Model in our local community.

These past few weeks at the Clubhouse have been busy in the best way-with lots of exciting moments, new experiences, and meaningful community connections!

On the 19th, one of our staff and three members volunteered with Keep Durham Beautiful for Creek Week. We always enjoy partnering with this organization and appreciate the opportunity to give back while supporting the important work they do to keep our community clean and thriving. ♻️🗑

For our SRE activity on 21st, we took advantage of the beautiful weather with a picnic at Duke Gardens alongside our friends from Club Nova. We shared lunch, explored the gardens, spotted some wildlife, and played games together. It was a great opportunity to relax, connect, and enjoy time outdoors-we’re already looking forward to planning more activities together soon! ☀️🌷

And on the 24th, we kicked off our first line dancing class with Angelo and Destiny, from Ninth Street Dance. If you know Threshold, you know any chance we get to dance and listen to music is always a good time. Members had a blast learning new steps, laughing together, and trying something new. We’re so excited to continue the class in April! 🎵🎶

March definitely set the tone-now we’re ready to keep the momentum going and see what new experiences April has in store!

🎉 Happy 30-Year Workiversary, Ali! 🎉

A huge shoutout to our incredible Associate Director, Ali, as she celebrates an amazing 30 years at Threshold!

Last Wednesday, we gathered to honor this milestone alongside several members who have also been with Threshold for 30+ years. It was such a special celebration-full of shared memories, a heartfelt slideshow, and stories that reminded us just how much these remarkable individuals have shaped our community over the decades.

Ali, thank you for your dedication, passion, and leadership. Threshold wouldn’t be the same without you. Here’s to 30 amazing years - and many more to come! 💙

✈️ The Lotus Voyager is on the move again! ✈️

After spending time exploring Threshold Clubhouse in Durham, North Carolina, the Lotus Voyager is continuing its journey and is now headed to Charterhouse Clubhouse all the way in Virginia!

During its stay at Threshold, Lotus joined members working in all of our units and learned what Threshold is all about. From the work-ordered day to getting out in the community for a Saturday SRE adventure, Lotus experienced the teamwork, connection, and purpose that make the Clubhouse Model so special.

A special thank you to Clubhouse Atlanta for sharing the Lotus with us, and another big thank you to The Lotus House for creating this wonderful opportunity that connects Clubhouses and helps us learn from one another.

The journey continues - from Topeka, Kansas at The Lotus House, to Chattanooga, Tennessee at AIM Center, Inc., to Atlanta, Georgia at Clubhouse Atlanta, to Durham, North Carolina at Threshold Clubhouse, and now off to Tappahannock, Virginia at Charterhouse Clubhouse.

Safe travels, Lotus! We can’t wait to see where the journey goes next. 🎉

As staff, being part of the Clubhouse Movement means working alongside members in an environment built on respect, shared responsibility, and meaningful relationships. Every day at Threshold we witness how the Clubhouse Model creates opportunities for growth, purpose, and connection.

We want to thank everyone who participated in this week’s testimonials - including our members, interns, volunteers, and community partners - for helping share the stories and experiences that make our community so special.

We are proud to be connected with Clubhouses across the world that continue to show the impact of this model. We’re also excited to take part in Clubhouse Action Week this May during Mental Health Awareness Month, as we continue raising awareness, advocating, and sharing the work happening here at Threshold.

Clubhouse Movement Celebration Week is all about lifting up member voices, and at Threshold our members are at the heart of everything we do.

Members often describe the Clubhouse as a place where they can find purpose, connection, and the opportunity to grow. Through the work-ordered day, members contribute their skills, support one another, and take part in meaningful work that helps the Clubhouse run each day.

The Clubhouse Model works because members are active participants in building the community together. Their stories remind us that when people are given opportunities, support, and a place where they belong, meaningful growth can happen. ❤

As Clubhouse Movement Celebration Week continues, our current social work interns from UNC and Howard University wanted to share their perspective. Threshold is always honored to host social work interns, and our students play an important role in the daily life of the Clubhouse.

Over the years, our interns have shared that working at Threshold offers a unique experience compared to traditional clinical settings. By working side-by-side with members during the work-ordered day, they are able to see firsthand how meaningful relationships, purpose, and community support recovery.

We are incredibly grateful to our current and past interns, as well as our university partnerships, that allow us to share our stories and continue educating future professionals about the Clubhouse Model. These connections help strengthen our community and carry the values of the Clubhouse Movement forward.

Clubhouse Movement Celebration Week 2026 is still underway, and it’s been great seeing our community join in the celebration!

Yesterday, Threshold welcomed students from the Durham Tech Occupational Therapy Assistant (OTA) Program, and some of them jumped right in to help celebrate and show their support for Threshold. Our partnership with the OTA program has been going strong for several years, with students visiting the Clubhouse as part of their curriculum. Members always enjoy connecting with them and sharing what the Clubhouse Model is all about.

As part of this global week of storytelling and connection across the Clubhouse network, we’re continuing to highlight the voices and experiences that make this movement so impactful. Moments like these remind us how meaningful it is to share the Clubhouse Model with future professionals and strengthen the connections that support our community.

On Saturday, February 7, Threshold staff, interns, and a member proudly participated in the 48th Legislative Breakfast on Mental Health at the Friday Center. This annual event is one we look forward to each year as we stand alongside others to support and advocate for our mental health community.

Events like this create meaningful opportunities for advocacy by bringing together legislators, providers, and community members to discuss policy, funding, and the future of mental health services in North Carolina. This year’s theme was “When Empowerment Meets Resilience in Trauma-Informed Care.” Threshold was honored to serve as a Bronze Sponsor, and our own executive director, is a member of the event’s planning committee. Our team had the opportunity to share information about Threshold with community members and mental health professionals who had never heard of our program, while also reconnecting with longtime supporters.
