International Clubhouse Model Promoting Recovery Flourish House works on a social, not a medical, model of mental health. This means that we work with people's strengths and abilities and seek to empower each other through partnership working. Work Ordered Day While Flourish Houses work is not job-specific training it does give the opportunity to experience different kinds of work in a supportive environment. Everything is voluntary and you can do as much or as little as you like. Catering and Maintenance Unit Administration Unit Education and Employment Unit We can offer support with employment. For more information, follow this link. Below is a quote from one of the staff at our longest running Transitional Employment Placement: "As a small employer with nine staff we weren't sure if we would have enough work to give someone the chance to experience real, meaningful employment. At first we offered a placement for four hours per week. We soon discovered that having an extra member of staff to deal with the filing, sorting the mail, keeping the office and kitchen tidy helped the office run more smoothly allowing the rest of the staff team to do their work more efficiently and freeing them up to get on with generating the work that makes our business successful. We have increased the placement to eight hours per week and would now find it difficult to manage the office as effectively without the members of Flourish House." Armitage Associates website: http://www.armitageassociates.com/home.html Member Quotes: "Flourish has helped me to get my confidence, which I had lost before. It has helped me to get back into a working environment and I've now been able to help others on their recovery.""I think the House gives a sense of belonging and achievement and social acceptance." "Flourish House promotes confidence and because it offers a normal environment it allows people to gradually get back on their feet. There is an acceptance here and it is lovely. Flourish House is a shelter from the storm" "Recover confidence and skills is a phrase that seems very true for me. When I first came here I was very shy but not now!"
