At the heart of the ACTS Clubhouse is Jennifer Mullins, the Program Director who brings dedication, passion, and belief in the power of recovery to every aspect of her work. Jennifer oversees daily operations at the Clubhouse, where members engage in a structured, supportive environment known as the work-ordered day. This unique model allows members to participate in meaningful work while building confidence, skills, and community.
Members and staff collaborate as colleagues, performing work that is crucial to the community’s operation. Participation is voluntary, allowing members to engage in activities as they feel ready and according to their personal interests, said Jennifer.
To become a Clubhouse member, individuals must be 18 or older, have a mental health diagnosis, be willing to participate, and committed to personal goals. Once accepted, membership is for life—a principle that reinforces long-term support and belonging.
Common diagnoses among members include schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, ADHD, anxiety, and depression, but all are welcome in this inclusive space focused on growth and potential.
“I love my job – I believe in the Clubhouse model,” Jennifer shares. “Members become colleagues. That’s what keeps me going: working side-by-side toward real goals. The Clubhouse should be the best-known solution for people living with mental health challenges.”
Jennifer shares advice for potential new members. “For new members, set your goals and start working on them. We’re a team here, ready to help you reach your full potential.”
One of Jennifer’s most inspiring stories involves a 60-year-old woman who had never found a place to truly belong – until she joined the ACTS Clubhouse. “Now she’s thriving, surrounded by friendship and support. Here, we’re not judgmental. We welcome everyone.”
Jennifer’s leadership and heartfelt commitment are helping create a community where people are not only accepted – they are empowered.
