How it works

The Clubhouse model is an evidence-based best practice for the cost-effective, comprehensive and holistic promotion of health, wellness and community reintegration. The Clubhouse provides a community of belonging, purpose and meaningful relationships. Clubhouse members have higher rates of employment and wellness, and lower rates of hospitalization and incarceration.

Magnolia Clubhouse produces results. In 2010:

• We supported 22 members in educational pursuits. Eight members attended college and two graduated from college. Two members worked on their GEDs.
• We supported 60 members in employment. Forty-one members worked independently. Six members worked full time and received insurance and vacation benefits.
• More than 50 members received care at our Carriage House Clinic. Our doc, Dr. Patrick Runnels, was awarded the NAMI Greater Cleveland’s Mental Health Caregiver Award.
