Imagine your life disrupted by mental illness. Your support systems have disappeared, you are unable to earn a living, and your confidence, self-esteem, and sense of purpose have been lost. You are isolated and alone. Smith County Clubhouse is a place where adults with mental illness can go to recapture what they have lost and move forward in their recovery journey. We are a recovery-based support system for adults living with mental illness. Our approach is holistic and brings the evidence-based, proven-effective International Clubhouse model to Tyler, Texas. The Clubhouse model is based on 3 key components of recovery (the 3 Ps): a Place to Belong, a Purpose (meaningful and shared work), and People (a supportive community sharing the common goal of recovery). Clubhouse participants are members, not "patients" or "cases." Clubhouses are organized as support systems. They do not provide treatment, therapy or medications. Instead, they provide opportunities for personal growth & community connection. Smith County Clubhouse opened in June 2022 and we are already impacting our members' lives. But we need your support. Your financial support will help Smith County Clubhouse members.
