Peer-run and peer-involved organizations provide non-clinical, supportive services for people in recovery from a mental health challenge or substance use disorder (or peers) and usually offer peers an opportunity to be directly involved in organizational function, management, or governance.
Clubhouses are recovery centers that offer social, recreational, and wellness activities as well as aid members in obtaining education, employment, housing, and other resources. Key aspects of Clubhouses include: 1) peer members participate alongside staff in a “work-ordered day,” and 2) peer members have access to paid employment opportunities through the Clubhouse employment program, as well as access to on- and off-site employment support. Additionally, members collaborate with staff to manage and govern Clubhouses.
