Who we are
Clubhouses are local, community-based centers that provide adults with serious mental illness hope and opportunities to reach their full potential.
Members and staff work side-by-side to run the Clubhouse, learning job skills in the process.
Clubhouse is a place to meet friends. Through a structured day, members work and socialize which is a crucial part of recovery.
A Clubhouse has members, not clients. Being a member means that an individual has both shared responsibility and ownership for the success of the Clubhouse.
Community Benefits
WSBT TV reported that in St. Joseph County, the most common reason people seek medical help is for depression and other mood disorders.
Clubhouses improve members lives by providing opportunities to achieve their social, financial, and vocational goals. Research has shown that their successes, in turn, impact the wider community in which members reside.

Reduced Health Care Costs
Higher Employment Rate
