Clubhouse is grateful
May was National Mental Health Awareness Month, and it was wonderful to see so many resources highlighted in our community by The Park Record and Connect Summit County. The Summit County Clubhouse is one of the free resources shared and provides free support for adults in Summit and Wasatch counties who struggle with mental health issues. During the day, Clubhouse members can continue education, explore employment opportunities and socialize as they integrate back into our community. In fact, more than half of the Clubhouse members have been able to obtain or maintain employment with the support of Summit County Clubhouse. A special thank you to Pat and Tom Grossman and the Park City Community Foundation for making possible the generous donation of a permanent home for the Clubhouse in Highland Estates. Renovations are taking place and we’re excited for everyone to see the home when completed! For renovation updates and if you’re willing and able to donate,
