Suaimhneas Clubhouse

Suaimhneas Clubhouse is a dynamic programme of support for individuals embarking on their journey towards mental health recovery. It is first and foremost a community that offers individuals hope and an opportunity to achieve their full potential. The Clubhouse is a non medical model and therefore the focus is on the strengths of the individual rather than their illness. Clubhouse provides an environment of support, acceptance and is committed to enhancing the potential of each member, enabling individuals with mental health difficulties to live full and productive lives in the community.

Clubhouse was identified as having the capacity to achieve this. After many years of advocating with other interested groups of individuals for the opportunity to establish a Clubhouse, Irish Clubhouses started to develop.

Suaimhneas Clubhouse opened its doors in May 2003 and offers our 150+ members community, friendship and opportunities for housing, employment and education.

In late 2008 Suaimhneas Clubhouse was awarded ICCD certification an internationally recognised symbol of quality, and a credential which affirms that we are in fact operating as a clubhouse, and are in compliance with the International Standards for Clubhouse Programmes.
