Be the Bridge! to Wellness, Connection & Community

For two full decades, this free community event has promoted Franklin County’s vast behavioral health and wellness resources and reduced stigma often associated with mental health challenges.

The Mental Health & Wellness Fair is hosted by the Green River House and Quabbin House, clubhouse programs of local nonprofit community behavioral health agency CSO. Join us live and in person at Energy Park in Greenfield on Wednesday, May 15 from 10am to 2pm.

The theme of this year’s event is “Be the Bridge,” recognizing that each of us can play a crucial role in recovery and support — not only for ourselves, but also for those around us.

What Is the Clubhouse Program?

CSO operates two clubhouse locations — Green River House in Greenfield and Quabbin House in Orange. Clubhouse members live with mental health challenges and meet clinical criteria set by the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health.

Clubhouse is an evidence-based model of psychosocial rehabilitation that uses the power of meaningful work and connection to a community to transform the lives of adults with mental health disorders.

Green River House and Quabbin House provide rehabilitative vocational, social, and recreational programming. Members find social and emotional support from their peers, gain meaning and purpose in their work and daily structure, and access mental health and social services resources
