Project Description:

The Manatee Glen's Employment Project will provide a restorative, vocational center for severe and persistently mentally ill members.� Through member participation in meaningful work activities, members prepare to enter the workforce.� The Clubhouse will be self-contained, not attached to other mental health facilities.� Through meal preparation for members, horticulture, office work, computer training, and educational activities, members learn to arrive at a regularly scheduled time and successfully learn to complete work tasks.� Transitional employment will be offered for up to six months where a job is provided in community (often job shared).� This is followed by supported employment and independent employment.� The facility will provide adequate space for all of the above activities to occur, approximately 5,000 square feet.� The goal is to enlist 100 members with attendance averaging 25 per day.� The Clubhouse would operate Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Priority for this service would include: Discharges from hospital or residential treatment;� Class members of the federal lawsuit or FACT team consumers;� Those at risk of admission to state hospital, residential treatment, or crisis unit;� Two staff and two prospective members will be trained at an approved International Center for Clubhouse Development site.
