Clubhouse International and Fountain House Power 2025 U.S. Clubhouse Week of Action
From May 19-23, 2025, Clubhouse International partnered with Fountain House to lead the U.S. Clubhouse Week of Action—an inspiring, US nationwide initiative that showcased the power of the Clubhouse Model in transforming lives and building stronger, healthier communities.
Throughout the week, over 30 Clubhouses across the country opened their doors to elected officials, community leaders, and members of the media. These events offered a firsthand look at the life-changing impact of psychosocial rehabilitation and highlighted the urgent need for supportive policies and sustainable funding.
From testimonials and tours to roundtable discussions, each Clubhouse event brought the voice of lived experience to the forefront, demonstrating how recovery and reintegration are possible with the right support.
We are grateful to all participating Clubhouses and partners who helped elevate this vital message: people living with serious mental illness should have access to recovery-oriented, community-based mental health care.
Examples of Clubhouse activations include:
- AIM Center (TN) welcomed State Representatives Yusuf Hakeem & Michelle Reneau.
- Sheldon Clubhouse (MI) hosted State Representative Stephen Wooden.
- Genesis Club (MA) invited healthcare providers and clinicians for an interactive tour.
- Iris Clubhouse (WY) held a vibrant Community Day with Q&As, member stories and tours.
- Hope Fort Bend Clubhouse (TX) addressed city leaders at Richmond City Hall about mental health issues.
