Charles Webster Potter Place Clubhouse
About
Charles Webster Potter Place is a non-clinical day program in Waltham for adults 18 and older with a history of mental illness. It operates as a clubhouse, a model based on the internationally acclaimed Fountain House in New York City, functioning as both a vocational and social rehabilitation center. Members take part in prevocational, vocational, educational and social programs, and adults facing mental illness or their family members can contact the clubhouse to learn more.
Employment support is central. Members interested in paid work or volunteering get help choosing a job, landing it and keeping it, with the level of support matched to each person’s needs, skills and interests. Paths back to work include transitional, supported and independent employment. Members can also get help taking a class or returning to school, share weekday lunches prepared by members and staff, and join social activities on weekends.
