“Before coming to the Iris Clubhouse, I had a lack of resources to help me with employment. Being here at the clubhouse is helping me prepare for future employment. The clubhouse gives me a place to practice being reliable to a daily routine or schedule. It’s nice to meet new people in a safe environment.”— James, Clubhouse Member
