Clubhouse Community of Hope

Building Community

“I wish that I had had access to a clubhouse years ago when my mental illness began. I don’t think that I would have had as many hospitalizations or ECT treatments. I feel that I would have been better prepared to return to the work community if I had the support of a clubhouse community. I love being a part of the start-up group in Aiken, South Carolina. I look forward to the day when Clubhouse Community of Hope opens. I am planning to be a part of the kitchen crew and am excited about making cake for the members and staff at Clubhouse Community of Hope.” – Traci Todd

What is Clubhouse International?

The Clubhouse model began in New York in 1948 with Fountain House and has grown nationally and internationally as a holistic (addressing the whole person) approach empowering people living with mental illness.

A Clubhouse is a community-based service dedicated to supporting and empowering people living with mental illness, known as Clubhouse members.
