The Clubhouse Model

Midwest Brain Injury Clubhouse (MBIC) offers a supportive community program based on the Clubhouse model that "work is healing."  This unique program offers a safe environment and provides opportunities to develop and improve skills, build social relationships, and gain self-confidence needed to lead more meaningful and productive lives.

At MBIC, the strengths and abilities of individual members contribute to the combined success of all members. Staff and members work together to complete individual tasks and group projects required for the day-to-day operation of the Clubhouse.

The daily work of the Clubhouse is completed within several Units:

• Business Unit (administrative work, computers)
• Employment Unit (return to work or school)
• Community Integration (outings & volunteering)
• Health & Wellness Program (exercise & educational speakers)
