Canvas Health Launches the Clubhouse Recovery

A social gathering venue for adults 18 years and older who are in recovery from mental illness

Canvas Health, in partnership with Washington County Adult Mental Health, will be launching the Clubhouse Recovery on Tuesday, December 4th.  The Clubhouse Recovery will be open from 2:30 pm to 4:30pm on Tuesdays, with the exception of Christmas Day 2012 and New Year’s Day 2013. The Clubhouse Recovery is located at 1778 Washington Avenue, Stillwater, MN in East Suburban Resource’s art room just one door down from Brine’s Market.     

Attendance and activities are free, and newcomers are always welcome. Those choosing to attend will be in the company of friendly people who enjoy being out in the community. Opinions and suggestions are valued. Occasionally the Clubhouse Recovery will have impromptu activities. There will be times designated for members who want to share a talent or hobby or to be part of an audience offering encouragement to a member who is performing or presenting a topic.  All activities are designed to promote mental health recovery. Additional activities may include playing cards, board games, puzzles, guest speakers, live music, creating art and group projects. The contact person for the Clubhouse Recovery is Judy Gulden, (651) 251-5009.
