Awarded the 2014 Conrad N. Hilton Humanitarian Prize for extraordinary contributions toward alleviating human suffering
Our California Clubhouse is a community of recovery, hope, and dignity, empowering people who live with mental illness through work, friendship, resources, support, and an overarching ethic that focuses on building strengths rather than managing illness.
Our Clubhouse is a Community
More than a program or social service, our Clubhouse is above all a community of people who are working towards a common goal to get our lives back!
Our Clubhouse is Participative
Each Clubhouse member participates in consensus-based decision making regarding running the Clubhouse. We are members, not "patients" or
"consumers".
Our Clubhouse Helps End Isolation
Our Clubhouse is organized as a support system, not as a service or treatment program. Inclusion is at the very heart of the Clubhouse way of working.
