The Clubhouse model is a form of psychosocial rehabilitation, founded on the principle that recovery from mental illness must involve the whole person in a caring community.

The community offers respect, hope, relationships, and opportunities for friendship, education, and employment.

Clubhouse uses the term “member” to reflect the voluntary, community-based nature of the Clubhouse.

Using this term makes it clear that members are integral and active participants and facilitators of the program.

The Clubhouse exists for and because of its members.

Membership is open to adults (18+) with a documented mental health diagnosis who are seeking community, structure, and support in their recovery. There’s no cost to join and no time limit on how long someone can be involved. Requirements:

• Members must be 18+ years old.

• Members must have a diagnosed mental illness.

• Members must attend voluntarily.

• Members cannot pose a threat to the Clubhouse community.

No. San Angelo Clubhouse is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Members live independently or with their own supports and come during the day to participate in work and social activities.

Members choose from a wide range of voluntary activities including cooking, gardening, outreach, graphic design, wellness, administrative tasks, cleaning, hospitality, and more. These tasks help run the Clubhouse and give members purpose and pride in their contributions.

Staff and members work together as colleagues. Staff don’t direct or control. Our goal is to build strong relationships and support each member’s strengths, goals, and voice in the community.

We offer tours every Tuesday and Thursday by appointment. During your visit, we’ll answer your questions, walk through what to expect, and help you schedule an orientation if you’re interested in joining.

No. We are a non-clinical, non-medical program. We don’t diagnose, prescribe, or offer therapy. Instead, we focus on building social connection, confidence, and structure through shared daily work and community.

We’re built on the Clubhouse International Standards—a model designed by and for people living with mental illness. Clubhouse membership is lifelong, voluntary, and focused on dignity, not disability. Members are expected to engage in meaningful work and recovery, not simply attend.

Yes! We serve a hot, nutritious lunch daily at noon. Meals are prepared by staff with members and available to all members and staff for just $1.50 — just call to reserve a plate by 10:30 AM!

There is no fee to join or attend. We are funded through community donations, grants, and partnerships. Members may choose to contribute through work-ordered tasks, but there is never a charge for services.

We are proud to be part of Clubhouse International, a global network of over 300 accredited Clubhouses. Learn more about the model at clubhouse-intl.org.
