Our Impact on Mental Health - Clubhouse International

A Worldwide Community Dedicated to Changing the World of Mental Health

FACT: Clubhouse International supports “Clubhouses” around the world where people living with mental illness can thrive.

FACT: Every day at Clubhouses around the world people living with mental illness are reclaiming their futures as part of a supportive and recovery-focused community.

The Problem:

LEARN MORE

Mental illness affects 1 in 4 families.

Mental illness is the #1 cause of disability worldwide - more than cancer, diabetes or heart disease. There are not enough Clubhouses for those with mental illness.

START A CLUBHOUSE

Mental illness is life-threatening.

90% of all suicides are related to a mental disorder. We help open and grow Clubhouses so people with mental illness can get their lives back.

FIND A CLUBHOUSE

Mental illness is a disease of isolation.

Isolation is not the answer to mental illness. Clubhouses offer a community of hope. Every Clubhouse we open touches 500+/- lives in need.
