Welcome to
A Community to Belong. A Place to Grow.
Located in Marlborough, Massachusetts, Lotus is a community-based mental health program supporting adults in Marlborough and surrounding communities living with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and other persistent mental health conditions who are looking for connection and structure. Which means:
- You belong here.
- You are more than a diagnosis.
- We work together, side-by-side as members and staff, to make change happen.
At Lotus, members are welcomed into a supportive community where everyone contributes, and everyone is appreciated. The clubhouse is built on relationships, shared responsibility, and the belief that healing happens best in community. Members choose how they want to participate each day, working alongside peers and staff in purposeful activities that keep the clubhouse running.
What Happens at Lotus?
Each day at Lotus is organized around a structured work-ordered day, where members and staff collaborate to operate the clubhouse and support one another’s growth. Activities may include: administrative and communications work, supporting clubhouse operations, planning events, participating in life skills activities, developing employment goals and more.
Through these shared responsibilities, members build confidence, develop practical skills, and strengthen connections with others.

Support for Your Whole Person
A full life takes so much more than a job. We stand beside our members in the parts of life that make real stability possible: at home, in their families, and on the days that can be the hardest to face alone.
Housing
When members need housing, we help however we can. Sometimes that means a place of their own through our Options Housing; other times it means closely supporting members through trusted community services that open doors to safe, stable places to live.
Family
We support the whole person, and for a parent, that means the whole family. We help members show up for their children and connect families to the resources they need to move forward together.
Holidays
The hardest days to be alone are often the ones everyone else spends together. So while many places close for the holidays, our doors stay open. The Lotus community gathers to share a meal and each other's company.
