Tempo Clubhouse members would like to give a shout out to our colleagues holding up the Tempo House! Some members and colleagues are learning and growing at the Pennsylvania Clubhouse Coalition - PCC Conference with members from other Clubhouses in PA around the US! Yesterday we heard motivational speaker Kim McDermitt from Mental Health America of Lancaster County . Kim helped us understand how to build community through a leadership advocacy model👩💻. Our voices matter. Sharing our stories 🎤can open the door to meaningful change and increased awareness! 🏦
Today, we heard from Lauren Mazzotta on “Empowering Member Voices; Practical Tips for Public Speaking.” 👩💼This session covered speaking styles such as persuasive, informative, inspirational and demonstration. We were encouraged to practice speaking by starting small. 💁♀️
Here is one factoid re: the impact of Clubhouses: Over 52 studies concluded that Clubhouse Members were employed 2x more frequently than others outside of Clubhouses with serious mental health conditions. 👩⚕️👨🔧👨🍳CLUBHOUSE means SO much to so many people: Community, Collaborative Work, Continuity and leading Compassion will help pave the way to recovery. What are some words 📝that reflect recovery when you think of Clubhouse❔
