Kamloops Clubhouse

The Clubhouse is a long-standing community mental health support within Kamloops. It is here where individual members with mental health disorders have opportunities to participate in programs that help build relationships. These trusted relationships and supports help individuals obtain employment, education, housing and connection.

The Clubhouse follows a psychosocial rehabilitation (PSR) approach. PSR promotes recovery, integration and quality of life through a person directed and individualized approach. This evidence-based form of program delivery demonstrates promising outcomes in the domains of health and wellness, leisure and recreation, vocation, and personal education.

At The Clubhouse, members and staff work in collaboration when determining program content and delivery. Individual personal experience is recognized and encouraged when working within a consensus-based decision-making process. Members are supported to take on key roles and presented with opportunities to build, re-establish, or maintain skills needed to live a self-identified successful life.

Fun, laughter and acceptance is an everyday event at The Clubhouse. Though members may struggle with difficult days, this is a safe space where we focus on individual strength, wellness and recovery.
