Genesis Club in the news...
To those in the mental health field today, that sounds like a given; at the time, it was a novelty. Mr. Bradley was impressed.
The group opened with just Mr. Bradley and then two employees in a house in Lincoln Street with 15 consumers.
That complex now includes two buildings and a 6,000-square-foot addition at 274 Lincoln St. Last year, they served nearly 800 different individuals, helping them find jobs, housing, education, health and peer support.
"This board was way ahead of its time," Mr. Bradley recalled. "The board had consumers on it, people with mental illness themselves."
