  Dear Mr. Young:
 

We are delighted to inform you that your self-study and recent visit from the
Faculty for Clubhouse Development has resulted in certification from the
International Center for Clubhouse Development. After reviewing your Self-
Study, the Clubhouse Profile and the written report from the faculty consultants,
we conclude that certification with a return visit in three years is indicated.

 

As you know, ICCD Clubhouse Certification involves an evaluation of the
clubhouse in terms of fidelity to the International Standards for Clubhouse
Programs and after careful study and consideration concludes with one of
several outcomes.

 

Certification with a three-year return review is awarded to clubhouses that
substantially adhere to each of the seven categories of the Standards
(Membership, Relationships, Space, Work-Ordered-Day, and Employment,
Functions of the House and Funding Governance and Administration). In our
opinion, these clubhouses operate in a truly effective manner providing excellent
opportunities for clubhouse members. Solid peer relationships exist and are
fostered by the cultural norms of the clubhouse community as expressed in the
Standards.

 

Congratulations on achieving such a strong and image enhancing environment.
We wish you continued success at providing the best clubhouse services
possible for members. Please feel free to contact me or your faculty consultants
with any questions or concerns about the certification report and process.

  Let me take this opportunity to acknowledge your community's commitment to
excellence in clubhouse practice as evidenced by your willing participation in
this process. Thank you for participating.
