The International Clubhouse Community Gateway House has been a training base in the clubhouse model since 1988; we have provided training to more than 500 members and staff from around the world. With the formation of the ICCD and the development of clubhouse standards, a stronger and more profound unification of the clubhouse culture will be experienced internationally. The training, support, assistance, and networking opportunities available through the ICCD cannot be replicated anywhere."

The Massachusetts Clubhouse Coalition The M.C.C. is a non-profit organization committed to helping people with long term mental illness find and secure employment, housing, and education, services and support in the community. Our membership includes over 11,000 Massachusetts residents who have mental illness and the staff of 26 social and vocational centers called ³clubhouses.² Clubhouses are run jointly by ³members² and staff. Members do not live at the clubhouse but use it as a base of community support in their efforts to recover from the effects of mental illness. The MCC works to strengthen and improve clubhouses while acting as an information clearinghouse and co-ordinating body enabling the clubhouse community to work together to improve the quality of and access to community supports.
