Clubhouses are Cost-effective

Costs are substantially less than other therapeutic approaches. Hospitalizations decrease significantly as a result of Clubhouse membership. Clubhouse membership reduces criminal justice involvement.

Improved Well-Being

Members were significantly more likely to report that they had close friendships and someone to rely on for help.

Better Physical and Mental Health

A recent study suggests ongoing social support enhances mental and physical well-being by reducing isolation.
“I had never heard of Venture House before my son became a Clubhouse member. Now, I couldn’t imagine his life without it. You all have given him the opportunity to thrive when life looked dim by encouraging his gifts. Your staff is just wonderful!”
