What is a Clubhouse?
| The Clubhouse Model of Psychosocial Rehabilitation is a comprehensive and innovative program of support for people with a severe and persistent mental health condition. In contrast to traditional day centres (clubhouse participants are referred to as "members" as opposed to "patients" or "clients") the programmes and services within a Clubhouse focus on the strengths and abilities of each person, not on their diagnosis. The Clubhouse Model seeks to demonstrate that people with a mental health condition can successfully live productive lives within the wider community, regardless of the nature or severity of their mental ill-health. Currently, there are over 400 clubhouses throughout the world. |
