Clubhouse Giving Day 2025: A Global Day of Impact!

A key part of our work is to support the opening of new Clubhouses. Parents, lacking the resources to support their son’s mental illness, found Clubhouse International, completed our New Clubhouse Development training, and benefited from ongoing mentoring and technical assistance. In combination with a dedicated team of local advocates, Sand Creek Clubhouse recently opened—the first in Idaho, USA! Click here to learn more about our 30 Years of Change and join us for the next 30 years!

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.

Clubhouse International is partnering with Fountain House to power US Clubhouse Week of Action, May 19-23, 2025! We are inviting US Clubhouses to open their doors to elected officials, community leaders, and the media to highlight how our model transforms lives, strengthens communities, and is reshaping the narrative around mental health. Last year, 40 Clubhouses across 18 states and DC participated to explain the need for policies supporting psychosocial rehabilitation and mental health funding.

NEW! Transforming Lives: Clubhouse Impact Report, summarizing the most compelling research on the Clubhouse Model, is now available! This visual report integrates findings from 15 rigorous, peer-reviewed studies conducted between 1999 and 2021 into an integrated theory of change, shown in the image above created by Dr. Joy Agner and her team at the USC Chan Division of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy, USA. Click here to learn how to download and customize this invaluable advocacy tool!

The Program for Clubhouse Research at UMass Chan Medical School, iSPARC, and Clubhouse International are pleased to share data from the most recent Clubhouse Profile Questionnaire (CPQ), an annual survey of our global Clubhouse network.
