We are so grateful for the incredible support shown from community leaders at our April 29 100th International Clubhouse Training Breakfast!
We were honoured to welcome Maria Henein from the Office of Associate Minister of Mental Health & Addictions Vijay Thanigasalam, who opened our morning by presenting a letter of support from the Minister, underscoring the province’s commitment to community-based mental health care.
MPP Kristyn Wong-Tam delivered powerful remarks highlighting the importance of recovery-oriented supports in Toronto Centre and across Ontario and Canada, and Councillor Chris Moise, Chair of the Toronto Board of Health, closed the welcome program with remarks reinforcing the City’s dedication to preventive, community-based mental health solutions.
Our international delegation included administrators from Clubhouses in San Antonio, Texas, Flint, Michigan and Welland, Port Cobourg and St. Catherines, Ontario, who are completing comprehensive training at Progress Place to bring the Clubhouse Model to their communities.
This gathering was a testament to the power of partnerships, provincial, municipal, and global, working together to transform lives through the Clubhouse vision.
Thank you to all our guests, members, and staff for making this event so impactful.
