Why Every Community Needs a Clubhouse
Our World Mental Health Day 2025 campaign was a big success thanks to participation from Clubhouses across the globe.
On October 10 each year, World Mental Health Day raises global awareness about mental health. This year, our ConnectionWORKS campaign championed connection as an essential element of the Clubhouse Model for recovery from serious mental illness. Clubhouses across five countries and 13 U.S. states shared personal stories and community partnerships that showed how connection fosters recovery, belonging, and resilience.

Our Executive Director and CEO, Joel D. Corcoran, joined Tony Mantor's podcast "Why Not Me?" to talk about the power and impact of the Clubhouse movement. From our roots to our global reach, Joel shares what makes Clubhouse communities life-changing for people living with mental illness.
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.
