“…These findings are consistent with the study of Carolan, Onaga, Pernice-Duca, and Jimenez (2011), who revealed from personal narratives that staff, members, and the overall clubhouse structure emerged as the center of social interaction and comfort for participants and a central sustaining means of social support. Furthermore, the results of this study are supported by the earlier investigations of social network support and recovery from mental illness in community (Kim, 2006;Kim et al, 2003).…”

“…Several studies have explored aspects of social networks among clubhouse members (Biegel, Pernice-Duca, Chang, Chung, Min, & D'Angelo, 2013;Carolan et al, 2011;Pernice-Duca & Onaga, 2009;Pernice-Duca, 2008). Pernice-Duca (2008) and Beigel et al (2013) found that although clubhouse staff and peers made up a substantial portion of the social network, family members were the most nominated source of support.…”

“…Clubhouses constitute another community-based approach to psychosocial rehabilitation and, like DCs, provide opportunities for meaningful daily occupations (Norman, 2006;Tjörnstrand, Bejerholm, & Eklund, 2011). Both approaches have been found to facilitate social interaction (Bejerholm & Eklund, 2004;Carolan, Onaga, Pernice-Duca, & Jimenez, 2011) and participation has been described by both groups of users as creating feelings of inclusion and belonging (Carolan et al, 2011;Tjornstrand, Bejerholm, & Eklund, 2013a). Ascertaining whether one approach to psychosocial rehabilitation is better than others in terms of promoting social interaction generates valuable knowledge; successful programmes can inspire less successful ones.…”

Objective: The aim of the study was to compare users of community-based mental health day centres (DCs) and clubhouses in Sweden regarding reported social networks and social interaction and the stability of these over time. A further aim was to investigate social network predictors both cross-sectionally and longitudinally.Methods: People regularly attending DCs (n=128) or clubhouses (n=57) completed questionnaires about social network and social interaction (social engagement and social functioning), self-esteem and socio-demographics at baseline and a nine-month follow-up.Results: Perceived social engagement and social functioning did not differ between the groups and remained stable over time. Fewer in the DC reported having a close friend but there was no difference regarding having recently (the past week) seen a friend. When naming "someone with whom you can share your innermost thoughts and feelings", the DC group named more professional contacts, fewer friends and more often "nobody" compared to the clubhouse group. Finally, on both occasions the DC group scored significantly lower on size of the social network compared to the clubhouse users. Self-esteem and having recently seen a friend could predict size of the social network in the cross-sectional perspective. Strong indicators of belonging to the group with a larger social network at follow-up were being a woman, attending a clubhouse programme and having scored high on social network at baseline. Conclusion and Implication for Practice:Having friends and strengthening one's self-esteem may be essential factors for the social network of people with psychiatric disabilities in a short-term perspective. Visiting clubhouses seems advantageous in a longer-term perspective.

“…Clubhouse research has begun to identify such a ''space'' as a community [14][15][16][17] that provides a wealth of mutual social support for recovery [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. Aspects of the clubhouse community support have been described in terms of the overall community support as well as its peer component [22,23].…”

With signs that early interventions for severe mental illness have at best only a modest impact on longerterm outcome, a need for a long-term care and support system that facilitates recovery is resurfacing. This article describes a well-established long-term support program, the clubhouse model, drawing on qualitative interview data from 105 users and 25 staff from five clubhouses in the U.S. and Finland, which was analyzed using a grounded theory approach. Recurrent patterns of transformative life changes emerged. Central to these processes was a sense of equality between staff and members that transcended social roles and mental health status and was experienced as embodying trust in human potential and respecting member's choice. This staff-member relationship can be framed by the Aristotelian notion of friendship for life. The clubhouse, offering a home base to which members can return in times of need, may provide a viable safety net for recovery.
