Clubhouse Model

The Clubhouse Model is a community-based approach designed to support individuals experiencing mental health challenges, especially those with serious mental illnesses. It emphasizes a recovery-oriented environment where members, who are often people with lived experience, actively participate in daily activities, employment, and social engagement alongside staff. The model fosters a sense of belonging, empowerment, and mutual support, aiming to promote independence and integration into the broader community. It operates on principles of respect, shared responsibility, and partnership, providing comprehensive services that focus on strength-based recovery rather than solely managing symptoms.
