Why Every Community Needs a Clubhouse
A central component of our work is to support the opening of new Clubhouses. The vision of one couple, who as veterinarians did not have the skills or resources to help with their son's mental illness, found Clubhouse International, completed our New Clubhouse Development training and benefited from continued mentoring and technical assistance. In combination with a dedicated team of local advocates, Sand Creek Clubhouse recently opened, making it the first in the state of Idaho, USA!

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 and enhance community connections.
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.
