The ICCD Clubhouse Community Mourns the Death of Barb Hennings
Barb Hennings, long-time member of Yahara House in Wisconsin, was a powerful advocate for people with mental illness. She never shirked from defending the rights of people living with mental illness to have dignity, respect, friendship, and equality. Barb was a founding member of the ICCD Faculty and helped to draft the original Standards for Clubhouse Programs, which now serve as a ‘bill of rights’ for Clubhouse members around the world. Her profound commitment to the values of Clubhouse equality and opportunity have helped to change the lives of members everywhere. The Clubhouse movement will miss Barb tremendously, and we owe her a great debt of gratitude.
