Why Every Community Needs a Clubhouse
Support Today, Grow Tomorrow: Make Your Gift Today!
Join us this holiday season by making a gift that will provide opportunities for Clubhouse members like Tina and advance understanding of mental illness. Your contribution funds essential training programs and resources that improve the lives of individuals and families affected by mental illness. Your gift will also help us open more Clubhouses around the world. Each Clubhouse supports members on their recovery journey. Make your gift today!
New Resource Helps Build Clubhouse Partnerships with Universities
We are pleased to announce a new resource and website to help Clubhouses identify and strengthen connections with local universities. Clubhouse International is partnering with Active Minds (Notre Dame Chapter), to help local Clubhouses in the U.S. connect with Active Minds chapters. This campus-based collaboration will advance understanding of mental illness, enhance community support and reduce isolation for Clubhouse members.
Impressive Growth of New Clubhouses Around the World
We are pleased to report that 24 new Clubhouses from 11 U.S. states and 3 countries have joined the Clubhouse International Network thus far in 2024. Pictured: Stepping Stone North, Brisbane, Australia. Many of these Clubhouses have completed New Clubhouse Development training administered by our team, followed by one year of mentorship by experienced Clubhouse staff. In our Strategic Growth plans, we look forward to bringing the Clubhouse solution to many more communities in the coming years.
