Our clubhouse provides a safe and inclusive environment for those experiencing severe and persistent mental illness. New Leaf programs are member or staff directed and they are designed to enhance work skills, habits, foster independence and develop meaningful relationships.
We provide psychological rehabilitation programs in four specific domains:
Wellness
Employment/Volunteering
Life Skills
Leisure
Members participate to achieve their goals in the domains of their choice. Find out more about New Leaf's employment and volunteering opportunities by contacting the clubhouse.
