Pathways Clubhouse Society of Richmond 31st Annual Report Annual Report 2014-2015 Pathways Clubhouse Society of Richmond WHO WE ARE Pathways Clubhouse Pathways Clubhouse helps members recover from mental illness and reclaim their lives through a supportive environment that focuses on the person’s strengths and talents, rather than their illness. We create opportunities for members to return to school, gain employment, have a place to live, connect with their families, make new friends and create multiple successes. We also provide mental health education to increase awareness and understanding of mental illness and mental health.

It was one that saw many significant achievements and important changes. We had the honour of hosting the Canadian Clubhouse Conference in June, with 175 attendees from across Canada and Hawaii. Our commitment to Clubhouse International remains strong. Andy Birch and Dave MacDonald are faculty members and participate in Clubhouse accreditation reviews. Dave MacDonald represented Clubhouse International at the Australian Clubhouse Conference last fall. The past year also saw Pathways Clubhouse end our association with the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA). For several years, our organization had been considering our relationship with CMHA. We concluded we can best serve our Clubhouse and the Richmond community by focusing exclusively on the Clubhouse International philosophy. We were fortunate to have received significant recognition and support during the year. We received the Association of the Year award from the Richmond Chamber of Commerce. This award is given to organizations that have achieved outstanding success in the not-for-profit sector and demonstrate fiscal responsibility, innovation and leadership. We received a Four Star Rating from Charity Intelligence Canada, one of only ten granted in British Columbia. Charity Page 4 Annual Report 2014-2015 Intelligence assesses a charity’s social and financial effectiveness to assist donors to make informed decisions when making charitable gifts. WorkSafe BC sponsored and professionally produced two videos, one showcasing our Clubhouse and the other highlighting the success achieved by our members participating in our Transitional Employment Program. Our participation in the exciting Stories project is progressing and it is anticipated will be complete in 2016. This will be provide Pathways Clubhouse with suitable premises for many years to come. We are continuing to raise funds to finance our capital contribution. We held our annual fundraising dinner, Building Pathways for Hope, in October 2014 and were gratified with the support we received. The dinner was a tremendous success. Over 260 people attended the dinner and over $194,000 was donated. We also held our first annual breakfast fundraiser, Taking Care of Business. The breakfast was generously sponsored by Heatherbrae Builders. This event gave us the opportunity to highlight our services as well as the support we offer to the business community. More than 240 people attended the breakfast. We raised over $28,000, and received a number of leads for our employment program as well as offers of other support from a number of attendees. Page 5 Pathways Clubhouse Society of Richmond We continue to work diligently to maintain very high standards for our programs and services. We also continually monitor our community for potential new services. We were very pleased to be able to offer a new program, Pathways Youth Program, during the year. This is funded by Variety – the Children’s Charity. The program provides a weekly social and recreational program for high school aged youth affected by mental illness. This allows participants to develop personal support networks and friendships, participate in social activities, and help stay connected with mental health services. We are very fortunate at Pathways Clubhouse. We have a dedicated group of members, staff, volunteers, directors and donors who are committed to making our organization a success by contributing time, effort and donations to us. We express our sincere appreciation to all. We have also received fantastic support from our funders, who make it possible for us to provide our services. A special thank you to all of our major funders, the Ministry of Health through the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority, Richmond Health Services Delivery Area, BC Housing Management Commission, the SMART program, the City of Richmond, the Betty Averbach Foundation and Variety – the Children’s Charity, have all provided significant funding for our programs. W. R. Wright President Page 6 Dave MacDonald Executive Director Annual Report 2014-2015 HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR YEAR Clerical/Orientation/Social/ Thrift Store Unit (COST) This past year, COST members and staff met several times to discuss ways to create more unit work. We began by revamping the unit board which is used to organize the work of the day. We looked at the major responsibilities of the COST unit which includes: Clerical, Orientation, Outreach, Social planning, Chinese Support Program, and the Thrift store. The role of Receptionist is important because they make sure phone calls are transferred appropriately, guests and members are greeted, and they have members and staff in and out during the day. Scenario-based training provided a fun way to practice. Members have said that they feel more confident with their communication skills and their ability to handle any situation. Working behind the reception and answering phones gives me confidence and makes me feel good at the end of the day. -Rhonda P. Recently, the unit took over selling lunch and coffee cards from the kitchen and upstairs unit. Stamps and bus tickets are also available to purchase. Members and staff work together at 'the cash counter' for a one hour shift. Our newsletters continue to keep the clerical unit busy. “The Good News” is published once a month and covers mental health related topics. You can check out the latest edition of The Good News on our webpage www.pathwaysclubhouse.com. "The Lantern" is also published Page 7 Pathways Clubhouse Society of Richmond once a month which includes poetry, short stories and members' artwork. "The Weekly" outlines what is happening around the clubhouse. We meet once a month to plan the two major publications. Recently, we have added another publication meeting called ' the Creative Club'. We discuss ideas for upcoming publications and find ‘creative’ ways to encourage participation and generate interest. I have been a member since 1989 when it was just a small house located on Westminster Hwy. I enjoy working on The Weekly and counting the Thrift Store sales. Coming to Pathways clears my thoughts and keeps me busy –Shelley Lowe We provide tours of the Clubhouse to potential members, community members, local social service providers, and student nurses from BCIT. Over 150 individuals have had a tour of the Clubhouse in the last year and we welcomed 60 new members to Pathways. The tour and the orientation process of new members involves processing paperwork, inputting data, and ensuring that new members are followed-up with as they settle into the Clubhouse. This year we created a system that helps to keep things better organized. Tasks were broken down creating more member work. I have been a member for over 25 years. I enjoy doing the stats at Pathways as they are important. I like to learn different jobs and apply myself when I am needed. – Wesley Driver Page 8 Annual Report 2014-2015 Members and staff meet once a month to plan and organize the social calendar. Social nights take place on Mondays and Wednesdays from 1:30 – 9:00 pm. Some popular activities include dining out, Silver City, dessert night, pitch and putt, bowling, and the dance on Valentine’s Day. A portion of the cost of outings is subsidized by Pathways. Once again we celebrated 'Summer Fun Day' at Second Beach in Stanley Park. Over 50 members and staff attended and participated in card games, relay races, badminton, swimming, a nature walk, and a picnic lunch, which was enjoyed by all. Pathways is open on Saturdays and Sundays, as well as on statutory holidays, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. Breakfast and lunch are also available. Weekend activities include badminton and pool tournaments, arts and crafts, board games and movies. Members also use the gym equipment which is accessible all day on weekends. The social and weekend program would like to thank Earl Clapp who has donated a variety of craft supplies throughout the year. Page 9 Pathways Clubhouse Society of Richmond The Thrift Store is open Tuesday to Friday from 10:00 am 2:30 pm. Thank you to everyone who donated items. A special “thank you” to ‘Chris’ from the Steveston General Store for the donations, as well as her continued support and guidance. All proceeds from the store go towards the services at Pathways. Chinese Support Program The Chinese program has provided support services to over 300 people. Besides hosting three community information booths that attracted over 50 visitors, the monthly support group had over 15 people attending every time. There is a Cantonese group and a Mandarin group running simultaneously. Seven volunteers were trained to be support group facilitators to facilitate Cantonese and Mandarin family support groups. In addition, guest speakers were invited to talk on various mental health-related topics including psychosis, self -care, alcohol addiction, etc. The year-end Christmas celebration was attended by 56 Chinese family members and individuals. Thank you to all of the guest speakers and volunteers who helped out this past year. Supported Education We believe that education is part of vocational success and we therefore support members’ educational goals and aspirations. Members are obtaining their GED, attending university, participating in workshops in the community, and learning job-related skills. Pathways Clubhouse connects members with scholarships, bursaries, and tutors. Members and staff together also run annual in-house budgeting, ESL, and basic Mandarin classes. Page 10 Annual Report 2014-2015 Employment Programs Pathways Clubhouse asserts that every person with a desire to work has the right to gain paid employment. We manage Transitional, Supported, and Independent Employment programs which offer varying amounts of support to members and employers. This year, in Transitional Employment, we had 18 placements at 11 different businesses. Combined with Supported Employment, we supported 40 members, who worked for over 7,300 hours, earning over $67,000. In addition, over 35 members worked independently. To fulfill our goal to provide Clubhouse members with employment opportunities, we continue to pursue part-time entry-level jobs with employers in our community. A special appreciation to the following companies who have provided us with Transitional and Supported Employment positions: BFF Foam Corporation Blundell Seafoods Limited Cactus Club Cafe (Richmond) CHOP Steakhouse & Bar Heatherbrae Builders Little Caesars Pizza Mass and Company Peake of Catering Quiznos Sandwich Restaurants (Marine Drive) Richmond Food Bank Richmond Holdings Richmond Chinese Community Society Richmond Sunrise Rotary Club Sanford Property Management Page 11 Pathways Clubhouse Society of Richmond Volunteer Program Pathways Clubhouse members volunteer their time and skills at organizations in the community. The Clubhouse supports members both at their volunteer placement and at the Clubhouse. We believe that volunteering promotes independence, confidence and skill building which bolsters their entry into the workforce. This year, 45 members volunteered over 5,000 hours at 28 organizations in our community. Many of our volunteers receive a monetary honorarium intended to offset the costs associated with volunteering. Thank you to Vancouver Coastal Health’s SMART Fund for their ongoing financial support. Thank you to the following agencies for supporting our volunteer program: Caring Place Children’s Library Childhood Discoveries Early Learning Centre City of Richmond – Recycling/Environmental Programs Fraserview Intermediate Care Lodge German Canadian Care Home GF Strong Rehabilitation Centre Richmond Animal Protection Society Richmond Mental Health Consumer & Friends Society (RCFC) St. Paul Roman Catholic Parish VCH – Child and Adolescent Program (Richmond) Volunteer Richmond – Shop-by-Phone & Group Shop Programs Avalon Women’s Centre Gateway Theatre Junior Golf Foundation Heart & Stroke Foundation Minoru Place Seniors’ Centre Minoru Residence Peace Mennonite Church Richmond Centre for Disability Richmond Health Department Richmond Kinsmen Adult Centre Richmond Family Place Richmond Nature Park SOS Treasure Cottage South Arm United Church Page 12 Annual Report 2014-2015 Wellness Program Pathways Clubhouse recognizes the connection between one’s mental health and physical health. As such, we provide opportunities to be physically active and eat a balanced diet. We go for daily walks, have weekly yoga and low-impact fitness classes, do gardening work at our own plot at the Richmond Sharing Farm Society, have a variety of on-site gym equipment, as well as monthly presentations from a Dietician. We have also been able to provide free drop-in passes for members to access the gym and swimming pools at local community centres. Thank you to the following individuals and agencies for their support: Annie Tsang – Vancouver Coastal Health Michelle Weisbom Mike Logan – Flaman Fitness Steve Mahon – City of Richmond The Richmond Sharing Farm Society Young Adult Program We are very grateful to the Betty Averbach Foundation for funding our Young Adult Program which provides supports and services to our younger members. This past year, 70 members were part of this program. They continue to have bi-monthly meetings to plan activities and support each other, organize youth focused social and wellness activities. Page 13 Pathways Clubhouse Society of Richmond Public Education Program The Public Education Program promotes awareness and understanding of mental illness and the support services that are available in our community. This improves access and enhances wellbeing and recovery. Highlights: Mental Health Week displays at Richmond Public Library involving many of the members and staff from Pathways. Screening of the film Hidden Pictures at Richmond Hospital. Dr. Harry Karlinsky reading from his new book The Stonehenge Letters at Richmond Public Library. Mental health presentation to Vancity. Annual participation in Schizophrenia Awareness Day on May 24; Wear Purple Day! Presented with other community agencies to the Richmond Hospital Department of Psychiatry Monthly Grand Rounds. Celebrate Recovery – Sharing Stories graduation and celebration event with our members speaking in public for the first time regarding living with mental illness. Beautiful event in the glass Atrium at the Cultural Centre. Supporting Families annual Christmas party was a huge success with many attending and enjoying the turkey dinner generously donated by the River Rock chef! 15 Reasons to Live film screening for Mental Illness Awareness Week. Dr. Jehannine Austin presented for Beyond the Blues on Understanding Mental Illness – the Role of Genetics in Psychiatric Disorders. Page 14 Annual Report 2014-2015 RCMP Mental Health Training Day, informing officers of Pathways Clubhouse services and member’s experiences with mental illness. Presentation to Canada Border Services Agency on two separate occasions providing an overview of Pathways Clubhouse services. Members shared their experiences with mental illness. The invitation to present to some of their staff is due to our previous presentations to the Transit Police. Supported Housing Program Our Supported Housing Program helps members find access to financial, community, and mental health support. There are two types of subsidies provided. The first is a Semi Independent Living Subsidy which provides $375.00 for members to use to pay their rent. With the housing market in Richmond becoming increasingly expensive, this amount helps members financially support themselves and be able to live independently. Also, we work in partnership with BC Housing with a “rent geared to income” program which allows members to pay 30% of their household income, or a flat rent fee towards their housing. The rest is subsidized by BC Housing. We also own and operate a 24 unit townhouse complex called Alexandra Court. This is great for providing members with a place where they can create social networks. Each member receives a support staff who provides tailored services to the member to ensure they maintain their housing. Staff help members with budgeting, grocery shopping, tenancy disputes, Social Assistance claims and crisis support, to name a few. Barbecue at Alexandra Court Page 15 Pathways Clubhouse Society of Richmond Food Services Unit Pathways Clubhouse believes a good quality meal is integral to the life and mental health of our members. Virginia Woolf said, “One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.”, and we would add that dining well is a great benefit to an individual’s overall mental health and happiness. The Food Services Unit is invested in providing interesting and delicious low cost meals to our members every day of the week. We take pride in the quality and artistry of the meals that we produce side by side and take great pains to come up with mouthwatering menus and specials through-out the year. Members and staff work together to shop for groceries, prepare and cook meals, serve lunch, clean up, and run the snack bar. Creating a menu of more complex dishes has also allowed us to have meaningful work in the afternoons as we prepare for the day to come, not to mention cater board meetings and events and bake treats for the clubhouse and fundraising events. We also planted a small herb garden and so we are able incorporate the fresh herbs in the majority of our entrees. It also provides work tending and watering and planting. And this past year, we served over 16,000 meals Thanks to donations from Green Shield and the City of Richmond, we can offer our fabulous meals to members for only $2.00. Also, we want to say a big thank you to Earl Clapp for funding Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter meals. Because of Earl’s generosity, members enjoyed a special meal free of Page 16 Annual Report 2014-2015 charge during the holidays. Earl has donated everything from Panini grills, and rice cookers, to condiments and beverages. Thank you Earl! We believe that our work should be fun, our work should be quality and full of heart, and our work should be done together as a team. James Lok does the dishes in the kitchen 3-4 hours, five days a week. When asked what keeps him coming day after day to participate in the Food Service unit he said “I feel needed by the people here.” and “I like to spend my time doing something worthwhile” . It is because of members like James that we have a successful and thriving kitchen. Pathways Youth Program This is a brand new program offered by Pathways Clubhouse, and with the generous support of Variety—the Children’s Charity and Richmond Community Foundation. The Pathways Youth Program is for high school aged individuals and helps enable them to develop personal support networks and friendships, participate in social activities. The program is free and takes place on Thursday evenings which includes a meal, social activity and transportation home. Page 17 Pathways Clubhouse Society of Richmond Resource Development This has been an exciting year. We began with our grand ‘coming out’ party at the July 1 Canada Day parade at the Steveston Salmon Festival. Our Mental Wellness car was decaled, decorated, and ready for its debut and our members and staff were cheered along the parade route by the 20,000 or so people, who lined the streets. The year continued with a new program of tours for supporters, newspaper articles and ads and as many opportunities to raise awareness as possible. This included hosting a Richmond Chamber of Commerce ‘Business After Five’ event. There were interviews on radio and TV, and two very professional videos made with the generous sponsorship of WorkSafe BC that show the work we do at Pathways Clubhouse. Facebook became one of our leading methods of promotion and we raised the number of ‘likes’ from 162 to currently over 800 and growing fast. We hosted our ‘Building Pathways for Hope’ fundraiser which raised over $190,000 and a ‘Taking Care of Business’ Breakfast – a new event that raised funds, as well as several new positions around Richmond for our Transitional Employment sites. Our Capital Campaign was launched, a Case for Support written and printed together with a ‘Giving Opportunities’ brochure. These documents were instrumental in our receiving a $100,000 grant from Variety, The Children’s Charity. We have also established a Capital Campaign Cabinet made up of people in the community who have a wide network and who care about Pathways Clubhouse. These generous volunteers are able to give us advice and ideas and continue to motivate us on the path to our $2.3 million goal.
