COMMUNITY RESOURCE

Staff Compass House - Medford, Oregon Compass House is an accredited Clubhouse International program serving adults living with mental health conditions in Southern Oregon. Through the 77-year-old evidence-based Clubhouse Model we provide a recovery-oriented, community-based environment where members and staff work side-by-side to build skills, relationships, employment opportunities, and meaningful social and community connections. This NON-clinical model of psychosocial rehabilitation improves the emotional, physical, and mental health of people who struggle with severe and persistent mental illness. Our task-oriented program builds purpose and social connectivity while providing transferable work, home, and life skills. Members receive assistance with transitional and supported employment, education, housing resources, financial literacy, social practice, and wellness. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Position Overview Our Community Resource staff facilitates new member orientation, maintains and updates member records, coordinates regular community outreach and presentations, engages members in side-by-side task work, gathers and updates local resource information, among others.
