“I was at Northwestern University when I was diagnosed with a serious mental illness…At some point my father had me placed in Long Term Care. I was placed in a back ward at Dix Hospital…For the next 22 years, I lived with chronic mental illness, going without a treatment that worked very well. Then, in 1994, two great things happened…”

“I have had many transitional employment jobs through Club Nova…Another accomplishment that Club Nova helped me obtain was my G.E.D. After being out of school for 19 years I passed my G.E.D. exam with average and above scores.”

“In 2011, at age 17, I was admitted to Central Regional Hospital in Butner, NC where I stayed 3 years. During those 3 years I experienced various changes to my medication, repetitive therapies, and became isolated…Since becoming a member [of Club Nova], I am no longer isolated and my self-esteem significantly increased.”
