3 SERVING ADULTS Adults who use our services have a wide range of needs and goals – from those struggling with mental illness or addiction, to individuals with a developmental disability, autism, or acquired brain injury, to so many others. No matter the challenge, our dedicated staff develop a thoughtful plan together with the individual. Giving Back Jeff came to Elliot House, Riverside’s clubhouse in Needham, looking for a place to belong. He had struggled with his mental health for years and was feeling uncertain about the future. He was ready for a fresh start and looking for an opportunity to build his skills and make friends. In the nearly ten years since Jeff first joined Elliot House, he’s become an integral member – always eager to offer support to other members. And through this support, he’s learned to understand and accept his own mental health struggles. Today, he’s rejoined the workforce and is giving back by helping others. Jeff (seated) was honored at Riverside’s CARE Awards in May along with fellow Elliot Clubhouse members and staff. “This program gives purpose to my life.” – Neponset River Clubhouse Member Visit us at www.riversidecc.org for more information about our services and programs.
