As a part of celebration for UP House 10^th anniversary, members decided to create a few episodes to talk about the 10 years of UP House community.

We posted our interview with Philip Silverberg, the founder and the president of the Board of Directors of Urban Pardes, UP Houses’s parent organization, which is episode #63.

Today, we are introducing the interviews with UP House members. 

Members collectively came up with the interview questions to portray the impact of UP House community on the members.

The members who have been interviewed for today’s episode are Grant, Lena, Heidi, and Jennifer.

Enjoy the episode!

UP House is one of more than 300 Clubhouses in the world that are affiliated with the Clubhouse International, a world wide movement. 

Members at UP House have formed an online meeting group to discuss the Clubhouse Philosophy that is the core of the UP House community where members come, belong, and help running and developing the programs. 

In this episode, Lena, Heidi and Grant discuss the standard #1 of the 37 standards of Clubhouse International and an article by Mark Glickman, The Voluntary Nature of the Clubhouse. The recording was made to show you an example of our Philosophy Group discussions, and if you are a member of UP House, you are invited to join the group. The group will meet every 2 weeks on Monday mornings.

In the episode, the article read by Grant has been edited, but if you are interested in the full article, you can click here to read the pdf.

Hi everyone,

July 12th 2020 was 10th anniversary of UP House, the only one Clubhouse in Quebec and Radio UP is based in.  This is a great year for UP House despite the pandemic.

Members involved in Radio UP decided to make a series of episodes regarding 10 years of UP House.

We kick off the series with an interview of Philip Silverberg, one of the four founders of this great organization. 

The interview was conducted on zoom, and we apologize for a bit of hick ups on the sound quality.

Hello everyone,

Members of UP House have been connecting virtually through our daily zoom meetings.  It is very important for all of us to stay connected, and remind us of the community where we belong. 

In this episode, members talk about what they do every day to help them to cope in the physical isolation due to the Coronavirus pandemic.  Some parts of the recording is hard to hear, but we hope you can feel the essence of members' positivity. 

Take care!

Hello everyone,

We hope everyone is doing healthy in this challenging time. 

Here is the part 2 of the stress management workshop 5 with Jade. 

There is one more workshop we did with Jade, stress management workshop 6.  UP House members who participated in these workshops have a tool now when dealing with stressful situations, and for now, members of UP House are invited to join our virtual meetings and activities to break the social isolation.  We cannot control everything that is going on, but we can control how we respond to the current situation!
