What We Do
Mission
To provide support in obtaining advocacy, employment, housing, and education throughout the Nebraska Panhandle for people working to overcome mental illness.
The mission of Cirrus House, Inc. is to advance mental wellness through opportunities including employment, housing, advocacy and offer services to those individuals recovering from mental illness and substance use disorders. Cirrus House also helps people with an identified risk of life challenges (homeless persons, veterans, at-risk youth, etc.) explore their strengths and goals.
Values & Beliefs

All people have the right to:
- Be treated with dignity and respect
- Make choices and decisions regarding their lives
- Find self-worth and wellness through meaningful work
- Live in a safe and affordable home
- Have mutual support in meaningful relationships
Our Expertise
The Clubhouse, our flagship program, uses meaningful, real work as a catalyst for rehabilitation to help people whose lives have been drastically interrupted by a major mental illness.
The internationally recognized Clubhouse Model sees participants as members or co-equals in every aspect of development. They are not seen as “clients” or “consumers” but valued persons with important strengths, skills, and talents to contribute to their own success and the success of others.
The Clubhouse philosophy (mental health psychosocial rehabilitation) is a university researched, evidence-based practice that is widely recognized for its long-term success in helping people live active productive lives.
