What Belonging Means to Me
Here are some words from Progress Place Member Kat:

“Being part of the Progress Place Community has helped me find a sense of belonging, support, and understanding. I feel accepted and supported by the people around me, which has helped me feel more connected. Being involved in the community also gives me opportunities to try new things and develop skills through experiences I might not normally have access to, such as helping with reception and cooking.

Being part of the Young Adult Program has also allowed me to meet people my own age, make new friends, and build meaningful relationships. Overall, being part of this community has given me a place where I can feel understood, supported, and connected to others.”

We are just three days away from and this year we're celebrating the power of belonging in recover. Belonging is at the heart of everything we do - building community, fighting stigma, and supporting mental health recovery.

Share your own story of what means to you, and help us spread hope and belonging.

How at Clubhouses!

At Clubhouses around the world, we see the impact of belonging every day. Genuine belonging in a safe space helps people overcome isolation, build confidence, and reconnect with their communities. In a world where isolation too often defines mental illness, Clubhouses offer a powerful alternative: belonging.

🌎💚 World Mental Health Day is less than two weeks away!

To celebrate, we’re sharing some thoughts from Progress Place member Simran about what being part of the Clubhouse community has meant to them. Their words are a wonderful reminder of the importance of connection, belonging, and community. 💙

We can’t wait to celebrate World Mental Health Day together!

World Mental Health Day is fast approaching. 💙

At the heart of the Clubhouse model is the Work-Ordered Day, where members and staff come together through meaningful participation, shared purpose, and a commitment to creating a welcoming community here at Progress Place.

The sense of connection and community continues beyond the Work-Ordered Day.

Our social and recreational programs in the evenings and on weekends create opportunities to build friendships, connect with others, have fun, and experience a sense of community and belonging.

This week, approximately 60 members and staff came together to attend a Blue Jays game. ⚾️

We cheered, laughed, talked, and shared an evening together. It may have looked like simply going to a baseball game—but moments like these can create meaningful opportunities for connection, friendship, and belonging.

Mental health is about more than treatment. It is also about belonging. Connection. Friendship. Purpose. Community.

Sometimes recovery happens through a conversation.
Sometimes through a shared laugh.
And sometimes, it happens while watching a baseball game with friends and colleagues.

As World Mental Health Day approaches, let’s remember the importance of creating communities where people feel welcomed, valued, connected, and like they belong. 💙

💙 One month until World Mental Health Day!

Stay tuned for the exciting events we have planned!

The power of belonging.

Recovery is not a journey we should have to take alone. 🤝

The Clubhouse Model creates a welcoming community where people living with mental health challenges can connect, grow, build confidence, and move toward greater independence.

Because everyone deserves:
💙 A place to belong.
💙 A place where their contributions matter.
💙 A community to grow with.

Recovery is stronger when we move forward together.

Last week, members, staff, and the Board of Directors came together for our Annual General Meeting (AGM) to celebrate the past year's accomplishments and reflect on the impact we've made together.

Our AGM is an important opportunity to share our progress, strengthen our community, and reaffirm our commitment to providing a welcoming space where people living with mental illness can build connections, develop skills, and find purpose through meaningful work.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended and to our entire Progress Place community for your continued dedication and support. Together, we're creating a place where members feel empowered, less isolated, and supported on their journey toward recovery and belonging.
