“…Clubhouses [are] in more than 30 countries around the world…Clubhouse International offers people living with mental illness opportunities for friendship, employment, housing, education and access to medical and psychiatric services in a single caring and safe environment – this social and economic inclusion reverses the alarming trends of higher suicide, hospitalization and incarceration rates associated with mental illness.”


For Persons living with Brain Injuries

https://www.biav.net/resource-directory/business-category/clubhouse-day-program/ 

“Brain injury clubhouses exist to support the realization of meaningful and productive life in the community after acquired brain injury [e.g., stroke; traumatic brain injury]. A brain injury clubhouse is a place for adults with brain injury who no longer receive traditional medical rehabilitation but find no resolve in staying home without a sense of purpose.”
