What is a Clubhouse?
"I gave up the dream of working years ago but Venture House and the Metropolitan Museum of Art made my dreams come true. I couldn't believe I could do it. Now I want to keep on working. Venture House is my home."
Chuck Thompson, member, Venture House (NYC/USA)
Whatcom Clubhouse is a nonclinical social rehabilitation approach to address mental illness and is considered a ‘Peer Run and Support Program’.
Clubhouses use a psychosocial recovery model that is time-tested, and evidence based.
The bedrock of Clubhouse success is found in the 37 Standards by Clubhouse International
