Fontenehuset (Fountainhouse) is a organisations part of Clubhouse International, and they work for helping people with mental healt issues back into a life where they can feel part of something, and/or even back into regular work.

The houses are ran on 37 standards, where all houses need to follow them all. I could list them all, but I will give a few examples:

Standard 9: Clubhouse staff are sufficient to engage the membership, yet few enough to make carrying out their responsibilities impossible without member involvement.

Standard 15: The work-ordered day engages members and staff together, side-by-side, in the running of the Clubhouse. The Clubhouse focuses on strengths, talents and abilities; therefore, the work-ordered day must not include medication clinics, day treatment or therapy programs within the Clubhouse.

Standard 17: The Clubhouse is open at least five days a week. The work-ordered day parallels typical working hours.

19: All work in the Clubhouse is designed to help members regain self worth, purpose and confidence; it is not intended to be job specific training.

I am myself a member of a house, specifically the one I want to do a charity for, as they have helped me so immensely with my own mental health. Going from a dirty unhealthy man, to a now daily attendee, who allso now works 40%

I really really hope that this huse can be added so I can give something back since allso all financial expences has to be applied for.

Cincerely
