The key objective is to support members - as they are known, rather than clients or consumers - in their recovery by fulfilling their aspirations in work, education and connection to community. Participation in the Clubhouse gives individuals the opportunity to join or rejoin the worlds of friendships, important work, employment, education and to access the healthcare and social services and supports they may individually need.
