What is a Clubhouse?

A Clubhouse is a community intentionally organized to support individuals living with mental illness. Through participation in a Clubhouse, people are given the opportunity to join the worlds of friendship, family, important work, employment, and education. They can also access the services that they may individually need.

A Clubhouse is a restorative environment for people who have had their lives drastically disrupted and need the support of others who believe that recovery from mental illness is possible for all.
