OVERVIEW

About Pathways Clubhouse:

Founded in 1984, Pathways Clubhouse works to remove the stigma around mental illness and promote mental wellness in Richmond, British Columbia. The Clubhouse is a supportive community where members recover from mental illnesses, find jobs, connect with their families, and make friends. Pathways Clubhouse offers various services for youth and adults, including housing, employment, food, education, wellness, and social activities. The charity does not provide a breakdown of spending on its programs.

Pathways Clubhouse’s Supported Housing Program helps people living with mental illness in the Richmond community find access to financial, community, and mental health support. The charity’s Supported Independent Living subsidy provides up to $375 for individuals to use towards their rent. Additionally, Pathways Clubhouse works with BC Housing to offer a subsidy program that allows individuals to pay 30% of their household income or a flat rent fee towards their housing. BC Housing covers the remaining rent. Pathways Clubhouse also owns and operates a 24-unit townhouse complex in Richmond.

Pathways Clubhouse believes every person with a desire to work has the right to gain paid employment. As such, the charity offers Transitional, Supported, and Independent Employment programs that offer varying amounts of support to members and employers. In F2020, 21 people worked in Transitional Employment, 21 worked in Supported Employment, and 54 worked in Independent Employment.

Pathways Clubhouse’s other programs include Public Education, Wellness, Food Services, Chinese Support, and more. In F2020, the charity served over 15,000 meals, hosted a 45-person event about resilience in children, and welcomed almost 50 people to an event about adverse childhood experiences. For the past thirteen years, Pathways Clubhouse has helped over 500 Chinese-speaking individuals affected by mental illness.

Comments & Contact

Comments added by the Charity:

The charity added this comment to a previous profile:

Pathways Clubhouse is a mental health program, accredited by Clubhouse International. Our Clubhouse offers hope, encouragement and opportunities to people who live with mental illness. Pathways Clubhouse helps members recover from mental illness and rebuild their lives through a supportive environment that focuses on each person’s strengths and talents, rather than illness. We work together as a group and create opportunities for members to advance their education, gain employment, have a place to live, connect with their families, make new friends, and create multiple successes. We also provide mental health public education to increase awareness and understanding of issues and concerns about mental illness and mental health. 

We believe that the rehabilitation of people with mental illness must involve the whole person in a process of gradual acceptance into, and being embraced by, a community of mutuality, respect and opportunity.

 

Comments for the 2021 profile update may be forthcoming.
