Staff/Member Office
The Chandler House staff/member office has two computers for preparing training, for research, video conferencing, and action plan development.

Conference Room
This area is used for colleague training meetings and presentations. These include both formal and informal training discussions from the approved Clubhouse International Training Curriculum.
Community Life
A central part of the Chandler House experience is sharing time with your fellow colleagues, reading training materials and discussing standards and sharing ideas on the work-ordered day/employment. Please consider their needs for quiet time and space; it may seem to be a large space but it can become crowded and cluttered rather quickly. We ask that you help by doing your part to clean up after yourself and collaborate with the other colleagues on training.
