Capital Clubhouse Inc.

It's Thank you Thursday! We're so appreciative of the GW Doctoral OT students who visited Capital Clubhouse to participate in our work-ordered day. We had so much fun! We look forward to collaborating further!

Happy Monday!! Take a look at our tips to a calm, caring Monday. Stay dry everyone! 🌧

We had a great time and good food at our member picnic yesterday! It was fun to get out in the sun!

Here are some words to say to replace other, more stigmatizing words (i.e. crazy and offbeat). The goal of this post is to shine the light on negative stigma of such words in the mental health community. Our words matter.

Will we see you next Wednesday?! Enjoy a delicious end of summer picnic outside with us. We plan to meet at the Clubhouse and walk to a nearby park!

Learning a whole lot at Clubhouse International World Seminar!

We love our neighboring clubhouse and wish them the best for the World Seminar! B'More Clubhouse

This September the 22nd, we have our employment dinner. All members are invited! Nothing beats free food and fun!

We attended the Mental Health and Wellness Fair at Mt. Pleasant DC Public Library. Here, we were able to spread the word about our community and talk to other mental health agencies who were in attendance.

The library is a great place to visit! Public libraries are for accessing books and are also a hub for resources in your community! They have resources from writing clubs to book clubs, other social events, and mental health resources.

Save the date for our member picnic on September 28th! More details coming soon.

For Wellness Wednesday, our member Mark is our “Cardio King!” We asked Mark, in what ways has Clubhouse activities helped you in your personal time? He said: “Clubhouse gets me up and about. Just leaving the house, and moving around more to complete daily tasks. I enjoy the wellness walks we take sometimes. My favorite part of walking is listening to nature. Cardio helps me calm down and avoid depressive symptoms. I plan to go on walks on my own, too.”
Great job, Mark!

Hot off the press! New issue of Compass! Check out what we're up to lately and in the coming month!

Last Friday we received a visit from Dr. Leslie Davidson and Dr. Tippi Geron who are professors of Occupational Therapy at The George Washington University (GWU) School of Medicine and Health Sciences. We had a great time discussing the intersection between the practice and theory of occupational therapy and psychosocial rehabilitation programs like Capital Clubhouse. We look forward to the beginning of a great partnership with the Occupational Therapy department at GWU!

Thanks for coming Dr. Davidson and Dr. Geron!

Tuesday we said goodbye to Renee, as she went off to begin her law career. She was always a sharp and enthusiastic addition to the Clubhouse staff, and excelled at exceeding expectations. We wish her luck as she begins law school this fall!

Today we celebrate our intern, Carlette, for her many accomplishments and professional growth during her time working with Capital Clubhouse! We will miss her greatly, but know she will be successful as she starts a new job this summer!

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH !!!!!

Juneteenth is the celebration of slaves in Texas and Oklahoma being freed on June 19, 1865. It was more than two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation that the Union asserted control over Texas and Oklahoma. Union forces arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas on June 19, 1865 enforcing the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing over 250,000 black slaves by executive decree. The newly emancipated citizens soon referred to this day as Juneteenth.

Come and buy our delicious bake goods. To support us going to Clubhouse International World Seminar. This Sunday at 1517 18th street NW.
