]]> Looking Ahead to 2020: Creativity and Innovation https://www.academysrq.org/en/posts/happenings/looking-ahead-to-2020-creativity-and-innovation/ Fri, 20 Dec 2019 18:55:59 +0000 http://127.0.0.1/github/bayfrontmedia/academysrq.org/web/posts/happenings/looking-ahead-to-2020-creativity-and-innovation/ This is a special time of the year, when members and staff pause to recognize past accomplishments and set sights even higher for the coming year. Program development, from Culinary and Multimedia, to Arts and Technology, is a shared responsibility based on a process of inclusion. Everyone has a chance to have his/her voice and opinions heard.  

 Our annual planning sessions involve a 3-step process: review accomplishments of the past year, identify current challenges, and set future goals. In this way, we have an appraisal of our progress while setting a vision for the coming year.  

This year’s planning sessions were well attended and met with a lot of enthusiasm. With the creative ideas flowing, innovative ideas for 2020 include: increased use of photography and video skills, improved tracking of Academy statistics and outcomes, greater opportunities for members to develop skills in Microsoft Office, improved Point of Sale system in dining room and greater diversity in our garden plantings.

This year’s conference was hosted by Key Clubhouse of South Florida. It was a wonderful opportunity to share strategies, best practices, and future goals – not to mention plenty of fellowship – with colleagues from across the state of Florida. Regions represented included Ft. Myers, Ocala, Gainesville, Orlando, Sarasota and Lakeland.

Members and staff from the Academy were instrumental in Conference preparation as well as workshops. Our Arts & Communications Team provided lanyards, printed nametags and programs for the event. The new FCC logo was also designed by the Academy. At the Conference, John Robinson and Garrett Laue of our Multimedia Team, unveiled the new FCC website, designed and managed at the Academy. William McKeever and Rima Ghalieh discussed recent achievements and future advocacy efforts in Tallahassee.

The Academy is one of seven accredited mental health Clubhouse programs in Florida, with five additional Clubhouse programs on the track to accreditation. The vision of the FCC is to establish an accredited Clubhouse program in every one of Florida’s 67 counties!

We really enjoyed the opportunity to see how a more established, accredited Clubhouse operates.

Hope Clubhouse of Southwest Florida incorporated in 2007 and opened its doors in 2010. Serving approximately 250 members each year, Hope Clubhouse holds a three-year accreditation with Clubhouse International. Over the years, Hope Clubhouse has built a strong employment program, as evidenced by the high number of Transitional, Supported and Independent Employment placements for its members.

We are fortunate to have clubhouse colleagues nearby in Fort Myers, and look forward to future opportunities to share experiences.  We learned a lot from our visit and appreciate the warm hospitality of Hope Clubhouse members and staff.

Kudos to John Robinson, our multimedia guru.
