Individuals increase their chance of recovery when they view their mental illness separate from their own identity.

The goal of the Clubhouse is to provide real opportunities for people with mental illness. Helping people regain the confidence lost by the devastating effects of the stigma surrounding mental illness, is key to rebuilding their lives.

Encouragement, empowerment, and responsibility are created through the process of working alongside each other as peers. Through this process members brush up on their skills and learn new skills; continually communicating and interacting with their peers, creating a natural network of support. The result is an increased self-confidence, a purpose in life and a sense of belonging.
