When we're needed, we feel seen. At Clubhouse, our evidence-based recovery model for people living with serious mental illness centers on showing up and being seen. We need our members and they need us, and that's how we build community.

Legislation and leadership acknowledging and centering the realities of living with mental illness is how we will see meaningful change.
