Clubhouse International is transforming lives through intentional communities where people with mental illness rebuild their lives after disruption and isolation.
Joel Cochoran joins us to tell the Clubhouse story.
• Clubhouse International operates 377 clubhouses across 32 countries using a specific 37-standard model
• Members voluntarily participate in work-ordered days that provide structure, purpose, and skill development
• Employment program achieves 40% employment rate compared to national average of 15% for people with mental illness
• Education support helps members return to school at all levels from basic adult education through advanced degrees
• Members receive assistance with housing, healthcare access, and rebuilding social connections
• Clubhouses reduce hospitalizations, criminal justice involvement, and early mortality while improving overall wellbeing
• Members determine their own level of participation based on their needs and recovery journey
• Future goal is to triple the number of clubhouses by 2030 to reach more isolated individuals
