The Williams Lake Clubhouse opened September 1, 1989. It is a multipurpose space for meetings, activities and workshops, and includes a kitchen area and laundry facilities. The Clubhouse is based on a general Clubhouse idea, with members electing their own Board of Directors at annual meetings. The Board of Directors, together with the program co-ordinator, organizes the overall structure of activities. There is a $1.00 per year membership fee and a coffee fund with monthly contributions.
The Drop-In Program provides an opportunity for family members and friends of any mental health client for social interaction.
