A clubhouse with programs for adults recovering from mental illnesses
Creative Centre Society has been serving the mental health needs of the people of the Fraser Valley since 1979. There are 2 clubhouses: Abby House in Abbotsford and Cheamview Clubhouse in Chilliwack. ​Some of the programs clubhouse offers are:
  • Food Services: Staff and Members work together to prepare lunches where members are able to purchase these lunches at a low cost. Member participation will provide members with the skills of how to prepare and cook a meal, food safety skills and pre-employment skills. It also aids in building confidence in the kitchen.
  • Social and Recreation Program: The clubhouse organizes in-house and community outings that revolve around socialization as well as recreational outings that are built around increasing socialization and physical activity. Some examples include the leisure center, walking club, healthy weight club, tea social, community events, seasonal festivities and a variety of other leisure and social activities throughout the year.
  • Pre-employment and Educational Assistance Program: Clubhouse assists members in creating resumes, cover letters, the interview process and proper self presentation with the overall goal of attaining employment.
