Work-Ordered Day Standards
15. The work-ordered day
engages members and staff together, side-by-side, in
the running of the clubhouse. The clubhouse focuses on strengths, talents
and
abilities; therefore, the work-ordered day must not include medication
clinics,
day treatment or therapy programs within the clubhouse.
16. The work done in the clubhouse is exclusively the work generated by the
clubhouse in the operation and enhancement of the clubhouse community. No
work for outside individuals or agencies, whether for pay or not, is
acceptable
work in the clubhouse. Members are not paid for any clubhouse work, nor are
there any artificial reward systems.
17. The clubhouse is open at least five days a week. The work-ordered day
parallels typical working hours.
18. The clubhouse is organized into one or more work units, each of which
has
sufficient staff, members and meaningful work to sustain a full and engaging
work-ordered day. Unit meetings are held to foster relationships as well as
to
organize and plan the work of the day.
19. All work in the clubhouse is designed to help members regain self worth,
purpose and confidence; it is not intended to be job specific training.
20. Members have the opportunity to participate in all the work of the
clubhouse,
including administration, research, intake and orientation, reach out,
hiring,
training and evaluation of staff, public relation, advocacy and evaluation
of
clubhouse effectiveness.
