From Crisis to Thriving

When Sara came to NorthStar Clubhouse, she was recovering from a mental health crisis and rebuilding her confidence. Step by step, she found purpose, connection, and support through the Clubhouse community.

Just months later, Sara began a Transitional Employment role—and today, she holds a permanent job, has earned a promotion, and is thriving.

Stories like Sara’s are possible because of supporters like you. This year-end, help move more people from crisis to connection.

Charly walked into Connections House Clubhouse, and everything changed.

After holding eight jobs and experiencing homelessness three times in one year, he assumed Clubhouse would be like every other resource he’d tried. But within weeks, he stabilized his housing, rebuilt his confidence, and started pursuing his dream of working in child education.

His goals weren’t dismissed—they were embraced.

“Knowing that I have a community makes all the difference. To sustain employment, you need support in other areas of your life.”

Today, Charly has been working in the school district for two years, proudly serving as a Special Education Assistant and After-School Program Teacher. He knows that no matter what he faces—new challenges, next steps, or celebrations—his Clubhouse community is always with him.

This is the power of Clubhouse.
Your support changes lives.

As we close out the year, we invite you to make a gift that strengthens the global Clubhouse network so more people living with mental illness can find stability, purpose, and belonging.

Clubhouse Intern Reflects on Impact of Being Involved with the Clubhouse Model

Gateway House, Inc. in Greenville, South Carolina, USA is proud to be a community where interns feel empowered, inspired and connected!

Farrah, a recent summer intern from Clemson University, shared this about her experience: "One of the biggest highlights for me was seeing the impact of telling our stories in person. The impact of member stories in reducing stigma around mental health, connecting with members and seeing firsthand how the Clubhouse Model supports recovery and builds community...It's one thing to share your story, but experiencing the connection it creates in real time was powerful. Watching people engage, ask questions, and reflect reminded me of how valuable storytelling can be in this work."

Farrah recently shared with Gateway some exciting news: she was accepted to graduate school! Congratulations, Farrah!

Add Your Support for Shore House in NJ Clubhouse!

Our friends and colleagues at Shore House, the only accredited Clubhouse in the US state of New Jersey, would benefit from your support!

Shore House is at a critical moment in its effort to pass legislation that would allow accredited Clubhouses in New Jersey to bill Medicaid for services. This bill has the potential to transform access, strengthen sustainability, and ensure long-term growth of the Clubhouse Model. The deadline is quickly approaching as they need to get this bill passed before the current governor leaves office in January.

Please sign their petition: https://www.change.org/p/support-bill-s-2606-a-3770-enable-nj-clubhouses-to-bill-medicaid-for-services?fbclid=IwY2xjawOf6ZBleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFUTDlxaHhhRjNTSUk1NklUc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHt8FDd4KHXJYX1eLN0KEC0_6baojfzLVj3B0JbU0erl6ZcbxRJ-Shd_uPnw7_aem_ApV44ybXmoXc2nyv1HW3Og
