Helping people work toward a productive, independent life
Clubhouse Model Psychosocial Rehabilitation Program A Clubhouse is a psychosocial program where consumers/members can come together to regain a sense of belonging and integrity in their lives, and work toward successfully reintegrating back into the society at large.
Casita Unida Weston is proud that Casita Unida is the first and only Latino Clubhouse in the country, and is located right in El Barrio. Here, Weston’s Spanish-speaking consumers who are members of the Clubhouse have the opportunity to engage in critically needed vocational services. Work experience can range from clerical to cooking, and includes assistance with educational advancement as well as peer advocacy participation. An important benefit of members/consumers working side by side with staff is that more meaningful relationships can be developed with their peers and others. Because one of the most important steps toward greater independence is engaging in transitional employment in the community, we believe this program is essential to progress toward the larger goal of gaining permanent employment.

Bob Newburg Computer Room
Launched in March of 2006, the Bob Newburg Computer Room, located at Weston’s Transitional Living Community (TLC) facility, serves as a memorial to CEO Jean Newburg’s husband who passed away in 2005. Bob, a model for achievement in the face of adversity, began delivering vegetables from a grocer’s cart in Long Island City at the age of six. Ultimately, he worked at Chase Bank in computers for many years, and the JPM Chase Foundation generously donated the majority of the funds, along with family and friends, to create a special room equipped with twelve Dell computers and work stations for Weston’s consumers to learn important computer skills. The room is available for consumers to learn basic computer skills, email, and job research/development – all critical for gaining employment.
