Hello everyone, we are back!

This week, members wanted to talk about what UP House means to them.

UP House is a community where everyone volunteers and shares the joy and responsibility of running the organization together.

We are part of Clubhouse International, a world wide movement that has been changing the world of Mental Illness. I imagine the feelings expressed in this episode by our members are somewhat similar to that of members of other clubhouses in the world, but if you are either staff or member of a clubhouse in your area, why don't you share it in the comment section?  It will be greatly appreciated!

Enjoy the episode!

Hello everyone,

Radio UP interviewed the director of Donald Berman UP House, Ruth Maclellan for our series, "What people with mental illness need most"

We've been talking about the reality of support system in Montreal through members' experience, and now a very important question came up:

If someone is in crisis, what resources are available in Montreal, and how can they get the help?

As a director of UP House, Ruth answered the questions that Radio UP asked, and we will share it with you in this episode and the next.

Enjoy!

Hello everyone.

Welcome back!

In today's episode, you will hear the members of UP House discussing their clinical support, and their frustration and struggle with reality. Please understand that the purpose of this episode is not to criticize the professionals who help people with mental illness in Montreal, but to share the insight of people who receive such services.

We are hoping to continue this seriese and help people who are trying to help us in our recovery.

Enjoy!
