What We Do

Recovery from serious mental illness is possible. Clubhouse International and 380+ Clubhouses around the world help make it a reality every day for thousands of adults living with mental illness. By coordinating, training, accrediting, and connecting the global Clubhouse network, we empower communities to deliver proven, life-changing opportunities for recovery, belonging, and purpose.

Offering Hope, Purpose, & Belonging

Mental illness should never mean a life of isolation, lost potential, or limited opportunity. We envision a world where every person living with mental illness has a place to belong, meaningful work to do, and a community that believes in their potential. Through the Clubhouse Model - a proven, community-based approach to psychosocial rehabilitation that has been transforming lives for more than 75 years, that vision becomes reality every day.

As the only global organization dedicated to expanding and strengthening the Clubhouse Model, Clubhouse International is leading a worldwide movement that redefines what is possible for people living with mental illness. Guided by the voices and leadership of people with lived experience, we partner with communities around the world to establish, support, and grow Clubhouses that provide lasting pathways to recovery. From expanding access to advancing quality, the six pillars of our work are the foundation of our global impact. Explore the pillars below to learn how we're building a stronger future for the global Clubhouse community.

Each Clubhouse is living proof of what becomes possible when people are given the chance to thrive. Every Clubhouse we help open reaches an average of 500 people, creating ripples of impact that extend far beyond its walls.

The need is urgent. Millions of people living with mental illness still lack access to the support that could change or save their lives. We know the Clubhouse Model works. We have seen lives transformed, communities strengthened, and hope restored across the globe. That's why we're working toward a future where every community has a Clubhouse, and every person living with mental illness has a place to belong.
