Mission Statement
Alliance House provides a supportive environment where adults aged 18 and older with mental illness can rebuild their self-respect, confidence and purpose through meaningful work, education, housing, and community.
About This Cause
Alliance House is a nonprofit “Clubhouse model” psycho-educational program for adults with serious and persistent mental illness (SPMI), serving Salt Lake County residents. In a setting that is neither institutional nor traditional treatment center, those Alliance House serves are considered Members, not clients. The Alliance House mission is simple: Provide a supportive environment where adults aged 18 and older with SPMI can rebuild their confidence, purpose, abilities, and community through education, productive work, housing, and meaningful relationships. We do this by helping Members complete educational goals and develop necessary work skills in order to return to productive employment in the community. We also help Members find and secure affordable housing. All of this is done within our uniquely supportive and collaborative Clubhouse setting in which Members and staff work together in an atmosphere built on principles of mutual respect and caring. As a means of fulfilling its mission, Alliance House establishes a regular structured work-ordered day for Members, who participate voluntarily. All Members are encouraged to assume a role in the daily functioning of the clubhouse as they work toward reintegration into the community. This includes participation in the areas of housing, education, employment, Member services, colleague training, Clubhouse maintenance, culinary services, as well as serving on the Alliance House Board of Directors and related committees. By participating in the day-to-day operations of Alliance House, Members not only gain practical knowledge and skills, they experience the sense of accomplishment and increased self-esteem that comes with being active and productive members of society. The Alliance House model is proven and successful. Hundreds of former Members of Alliance House have gone on to live independent, productive lives in their communities. Alliance House was founded in 1987 and is a Member of Clubhouse International, which promotes the development and strengthening of approximately 300 clubhouse-model programs in thirty countries. Alliance House is one of only ten Clubhouses in the world that is certified by Clubhouse International to provide an extensive training course for other organizations wanting to establish or enhance their own Clubhouse-model center.
