Be Kind to Your Mind 5K Fun Run

We are so excited to host the 6th Annual Be Kind to Your Mind Fun Run benefiting Iris Clubhouse of Casper on Saturday, June 4! This year’s event will be at The Wells Shelter at the North Casper Soccer Complex across from the Boys and Girls Club. Our run is the day before the Casper Marathon means we can draw more participants to the event and spread the word about Iris Clubhouse and mental illness in our community.

If you are unfamiliar with Iris Clubhouse, let’s take a minute and tell you about our organization. The Clubhouse is a community of adults living with moderate to severe mental illness. Our members work toward personal goals. The Clubhouse is a work-oriented program that helps people build their job skills, gain personal worth, and rejoin our community. Through this program, these individuals can lead rich and fulfilling lives.

Iris Clubhouse provides opportunities and resources for friendship, employment, housing, and education in a caring and safe environment. Our members have the opportunity for recovery and can participate as valued and respected members of society.

We established Iris House, Inc. in 2017. We are in a “new” building, have a dedicated volunteer board, full support from the mental health community, and goals to expand our program. We follow the Clubhouse Model of Psychosocial Rehabilitation, just as the 341 other Clubhouses worldwide do.
