Clubhouse Program

The Program

The BridgeLine Place is a community-based vocational program for brain injury support that utilizes the Clubhouse model of psychosocial rehabilitation.  The BridgeLine Place provides the opportunity for its members to learn valuable work and social skills to achieve vocational and/or independent living goals. 

The workday provides opportunities for members to gain self-confidence and purpose, as well as develop a social network of peers. Membership in the program is lifelong and members can utilize additional services and supports available through the program.

Brief History

The BridgeLine Place operated formerly as High Street Clubhouse, a program of Virginia Neurocare Foundation from 2001 to 2014.  In 2015, High Street Clubhouse became a program of The Bridge Line.  A name change occurred in late 2015 to decrease public confusion on the location and better reflect the program’s purpose.
