Today, there are more than three hundred Clubhouses operating in 33 counties around the world. A Clubhouse is a comprehensive center of support and encouragement for its members (people with mental illness). Over the years, Fountain House, along with all the Clubhouses modeled after it, have continuously demonstrated that people with mental illness can successfully live and work in their respective communities. Key to this success is an environment of support, acceptance, and commitment to the potential contribution and success of each individual, regardless of the severity of his or her illness. Our Clubhouses are places where people can “belong” as contributing adults, rather than as full-time “patients” who are there only to be “treated”. The Clubhouse is a place in which members and staff work side by side in all aspects of the day’s work.
