Pennsylvania Clubhouse Coalition
The Pennsylvania Clubhouse Coalition (PCC) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization of Clubhouses across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania committed to improving the quality of life and community integration of people experiencing mental health recovery. The model features work and membership as the primary methods for providing participants with increased opportunities in employment, housing, education, skill development and social activities. PCC Clubhouses follow the Quality Standards for Clubhouse Programs published by Clubhouse International organization (CI). Clubhouse members experience the process of mental health recovery through the personal empowerment achieved through Clubhouse membership. Above all, Clubhouses are a place of hope, possibility and recovery.
Through this environment of support, acceptance and commitment to the potential of each member, Clubhouses demonstrate that individuals with mental illness can successfully live full and productive lives and work in the community.
Pennsylvania is a proud home to 23 Clubhouse programs statewide. Click the "PA Clubhouses" tab above to find a Clubhouse near you!
