Lodge Program – What is a LODGE?
A Lodge is an affordable dwelling for up to 6 people who share in running the home, including domestic chores and the purchase and preparation of food. The residents make their own house rules and manage their own activities.
The Lodge program at Prairie Harvest Mental Health is designed to follow the Fairweather Lodge Model. This is a national model developed by Dr. George Fairweather for adults with persistent mental illness. This model is currently implemented in 10 states, including North Dakota. The primary philosophy driving this model is that people that live together and work together can more easily recover and find stability for the long term.
