The Clubhouse philosophy includes a belief in the potential productivity of the most severely disabled person. It asserts that work, especially the opportunity to aspire to and achieve gainful employment, is a deeply regenerative and re-integrating force in the life of every human being.

As a parallel concept to that of the importance of work, men and women require opportunities to be together socially.  The Clubhouse provides a place for social inter-change, relaxation and social support on  evenings, weekends, and holidays.

A program is incomplete if it offers a full set of vocational opportunities and a rich offering of social and recreational opportunities and yet neglects the circumstances in which its members live.
