DescriptionInspiration Place is a vocational rehabilitation program designed to provide maximum flexibility to participants with vocational goals * It is a member driven, recovery-based, vocational rehabilitation program for adults who have had a mental illness to come and rebuild their lives. 
 
Based upon Clubhouse philosophy, the program is consumer-driven in that members control all facets of the program. Members of Inspiration Place are intent on finding their own path to recovery. Whether involved in the day-to-day operations of the Club, or simply attending social events, membership is for life so members have all the time they need to secure their new life in the community.
