Sage Enrichment Center Clubhouse is a member led program, designed to empower adults with serious and persistent mental illness. Individuals are often in situations where disability is the focus, leaving few areas where they can safely explore and identify their strengths.
Sage Enrichment Center Clubhouse
622 Florence Avenue, Owatonna MN
Activities:
Mondays at 11:30am, with the focus of healthy eating
Fridays at 1:00pm, for recreational activities.
Activity dates and times may change based on the selected monthly calendar of events. The calendar is focused on social activities in an organic environment, to be able to connect with and build relationships with others that have experienced similar challenges with mental health. These activities are chosen monthly, by a committee that consists of Clubhouse members.
The goal is for members to be able to increase volunteerism, foster natural support networks, and be recognized for their abilities, rather than their
disabilities, while improving their quality of life.
Clubhouse is a non-clinical setting, so the application process can is simple and streamlined. Potential members may contact the Clubhouse Coordinator at 507-676-2585 for an application or may be referred by a provider.
