Why Every Community Needs a Clubhouse
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!

Clubhouse International is partnering with Fountain House to power US Clubhouse Week of Action, May 19-23, 2025!

Last year, 40 Clubhouses across 18 states and DC participated to explain the need for policies supporting psychosocial rehabilitation and mental health funding.
