We are so fortunate to collaborate with USF Assistant Research Professor Dr. Roxann Taormina (center) who is taking our FIT program to the next level! Following the 8-Dimensions of Wellness, Dr. Taormina has helped us create a dynamic wellness curriculum and track outcomes. She recently met with Academy at Bradenton members for a focus group that identified the strengths and weaknesses of our FIT program, guiding us to adapt to the varying needs of our members.

A few of us took to the highway to visit our friends at ACTS (All Come To Shine) Clubhouse in Tampa. Beautiful space! Warm and welcoming members and staff! We were inspired by their vibrant program, and we took a few bright ideas home to the Academy. Collaboration makes us all shine brighter. Thanks ACTS!

Gannon University brought Occupational Health students to Academy at Bradenton for a Lunch & Learn. We were so impressed by their engagement with members and their astute questions. Thanks to Gannon University’s Program Director Karen Dishman and our own Volunteer Coordinator Elena Vizvary for organizing the event, and to members Ray Reilly and Eugene Smith for providing a great tour.

Seventeen Academy members attended the US Conference for Clubhouse International in Richmond, VA. They presented some of our organizational knowledge in workshops covering sustainability, effective tours, employment and more, and they returned buzzing with excitement, having collected many great ideas shared by other programs.

Academy member and Board Vice Chair Paul Hennekes and program directors Vanessa Alcantara and Billy Elkins participated in a Congressional Advocacy Day on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. They met with legislative assistants for US Representative Greg Steube, and Senators Ashley Moody and Rick Scott. They made a convincing case that clubhouses are a crucial aspect of the mental health continuum of care and that we need state support and funding, encouraging them to join our Congressional Clubhouse Caucus. We’re so proud of our plucky influencers!

We held auditions this week for our next video production: Mind Over Mountain. Members gave it their all! Some were even “off script” for the audition scene, having memorized their lines! It was impressive to see, and it speaks to the dedication we all have to make our program the best it can be. Stay tuned for the world premiere, coming soon!

Academy at Bradenton hosted the Manatee County Chamber of Commerce this week. The Chamber welcomed us in June 2024 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, so it was fun to show them the signed ribbon still on our wall.

Members Thad Haddad, Eugene Smith, Ray Reilly, Austin Azevedo, and Grant Goodin did an excellent job of showing them around and, or course, our culinary team did not disappoint. These Lunch & Learns serve to help us better serve our community and create pathways to opportunity for Academy members.
