A Good Neighbor in Wake County

 Serving adult client members with mental disabilities who are referred by their treating psychiatrists.

 

 Members need help in taking control of their lives because of the impact of their mental disabilities.

 

Members may need help in:

 

• regaining self confidence
• social skills
• daily living skills
• personal financial skills
• education
• employment

 

How members join

 

Psychiatrists refer their patients for membership in Club Horizon when they are well on their way to recovery and are stable.  Continued eligibility for membership depends upon members' on-going active treatment for their mental disabilities.

 

Club Horizon has at least one highly trained staff member for every eight members in order to:

 

• carefully screen member clients prior to admission
• continually monitor mental health status of members
• work side-by-side with members to regain skills

 

Where are our members

 

Club Horizon members live in the Wake County community:

 

• in their own homes and apartments
• with relatives or friends
• in Family Care or Group Homes

 

The concept

 

Club Horizon's program is based on an intgernationally successful program, called the "Clubhouse Model", proven to help people with mental disabilities regain their lives and recover in a supportive environment.  Eleven other clubhouses are located across North Carolina including Club Nova in Chapel Hill and Threshold in Durham.
