Palm Beach County families seeking information on how to support loved ones living with a mental health challenge can learn more about NAMI Palm Beach County’s education series, NAMI Family to Family. Other resources are available at namipbc.org.
Clubhouses do not provide therapy or medical services but help members connect to community resources.
Employment is central to the Clubhouse model. Members may participate in Transitional, Supported, or Independent Employment based on choice and readiness.
Membership is free. A small meal fee helps cover food costs. No one is excluded due to inability to pay.
We encourage anyone interested in Clubhouse membership to schedule a tour. A tour gives you the opportunity to experience the Clubhouse, meet members and staff, learn about the work-ordered day, and ask questions. It also gives us an opportunity to learn about what you are looking for and to make sure the Clubhouse is a good fit for your interests, goals, and support needs. There is no obligation to join after a tour, and membership is always voluntary.
