SEPTEMBER COMPASSION OFFERING
Yahara House
Yahara House (YH), located in Madison Wisconsin, is an evidence-based community mental health program that focuses on recovery through social connection, meaningful activity, and reintroduction to community employment. YH’s mission is to transform the lives of people living with mental illness by replacing despair, stigma, and isolation with hope, dignity and community. YH is made up of community members who are working together to achieve some common goals, including:
- completing educational and employment goals
- developing self-esteem, confidence, and coping strategies
- finding and securing resources – such as affordable housing, primary care services; and
- living a life of respect and independence within the members’ larger community
Open and accessible to program members 40 hours a week, plus holidays and monthly evening and weekend social activities, YH offers a place for adults with mental illness to belong in a stigma-free environment. Yahara House was founded in 1976 and is an official member of Clubhouse International. You can find more information at Work and Community | Yahara House | Madison.
