A clubhouse functions as a local community center for individuals residing in the area with a history of mental illness. It serves as a space where members can connect with others who understand the challenges of living with a mental illness and focuses on fostering friendships and facilitating collaboration. Members can also obtain assistance with essential services like housing, and support in returning to school and finding employment.

If you are an adult living with a mental illness and preferably residing in San Antonio, then you are eligible to become a member of the San Antonio Clubhouse. 

Clubhouses do not require members to pay for their services since we primarily receive funding from the government. Hence, the membership is free to anyone living with a mental illness.

We do not offer medical, clinical, or treatment services. It is important to note that the clubhouse focuses on individuals being members of the club rather than as patients or clients. However, we can assist members in finding and accessing the necessary medical and social services they may require.

There are numerous activities available at our clubhouse and can be categorized as follows:

Work Ordered Days provide opportunities for clubhouse members to do tasks such as clerical and computer work, telephone duties, food service, clubhouse administration, member transportation services, and mental health advocacy.

We do have employment programs where we assist members in finding and maintaining paid jobs.

The clubhouse supports and helps members in enrolling and completing education programs, including college and other degree programs.

We have recreational activities where members and staff can enjoy and foster friendships together.
