Vail Place

On this Give to the Max Day, Vail Place has a special request on behalf of those living with mental health challenges. 

Living our values means we offer programs that empower others, preserve dignity, and promote life course wellbeing. Vail Place is known for many programs that support those living with mental health challenges and one of those is experiencing a loss of funding. We need your help. 

Vail Place offers the only accredited Clubhouse Community Support Programs in our State. These two Clubhouse Programs are in Hopkins and Uptown Minneapolis. Our Clubhouse Programs are accredited by Clubhouse International, which received the 2021 Special Presidential Commendation Award from the American Psychiatric Association, recognizing the evidence-based, cost-effective Clubhouse model as a leading recovery resource for people living with mental illness around the world. These Clubhouses focus on what the members want and need in order to overcome the challenges of mental health problems. 

For over 30 years our Clubhouse Community Support Programs have received stable funding. We were notified in late September that the funding for our Clubhouse Programs will be reduced 50% next year. These Clubhouses save lives, prevent crisis, and focus on proactively responding to the needs of those we work alongside. We are dedicated to finding champions in the community who want to lift these people’s lives up with us. 

Our members tell us again and again that “our Clubhouses are unique, they saved my life, and they offer a resource that simply is not present anywhere else”. Give to the Max Day plays a critical part in the story of so many this year helping us protect these programs. 

Our Clubhouse programs support a wide range of needs: providing employment and housing opportunities, social connectedness, skill building, and supporting overall health and wellness. All funds raised during GTTMD 2022 will allow us to continue to provide connection and hope for Clubhouse members at Vail Place. With your support this November, we can continue to meet everyone who reaches out with person-centered services and supports, especially with our core Clubhouse locations.

Additionally, we have a generous donation that will double your gift up to $1,000.00. Thank you to this donor who wishes to remain anonymous for helping us offer this match! Thank you in advance for lifting our community up with your gifts. Consider Vail Place as you GIVE TO THE MAX this year! 

Your gift will …

1) Prevent isolation, crisis, hospitalization, and homelessness

2) Provide a community of hope – a recovery plan built for each individual
