“…Clubhouse members reported an average of 5.6 years since their last psychiatric hospital admission. These characteristics are similar to other studies involving consumers of psychosocial rehabilitation programs (Macias, Jackson, Schroeder, & Wang, 1999;Lucca & Allen, 2001). …”

“…These programs strive to increase social connections among consumers most at risk for isolation and the associated effects. Nearly all clubhouse programs emphasize social and recreational opportunities for its membership-a consistent feature of clubhouses in the current study (Lucca & Allen, 2001;Macias, Jackson, Schroeder, & Wang, 1999).…”

This study explored the structure and quality of social network support among a group of adult consumers of community-based mental health programs known as clubhouses. The structure and quality of social network support was also examined by diagnosis, specifically between consumers living with and without schizophrenia. The study involved a sample of 221 consumers across 15 clubhouse programs. Social network nominations were collected using a semistructured social network interview strategy. Over 97% of the participants identified at least one source of support in their social network with an average of five nominations. Family members were identified as the most common source of support whereas fellow clubhouse members were least likely to be nominated. Clubhouse members with schizophrenia were less likely to identify family members and were more likely to rate their support networks as more important and engage in greater levels of contact than consumers with other diagnoses. The structure and quality of social network supports were not associated with level of social functioning, length of clubhouse membership or level of participation or other selected demographic variables typically associated with the size and quality of support.

show abstract

“…Clubhouses characterized by a greater proportion of late to middle-aged members and a greater percentage of individuals living with psychoses are associated with environments that emphasize less member involvement and facilitate less personal growth (Moos 1996;Mowbray et al 2006). This fact is especially compelling given that the average age of a clubhouse member is between 30 and 50, and living with a serious form of mental illness, such as schizophrenia (Lucca and Allen 2001;Macias et al 1999;Pernice-Duca 2008). Gender has also been implicated as a highly determinative factor in determining the quality of the social climate of treatment programs.…”

“…Overall, members and staff indicated that clubhouses did not offer formal substance abuse assistance, activities for families, medication management, housing assistance, or emergency services were not routinely offered or practiced. This comes as no surprise since many clubhouses offer services in social, vocational, educational, and residential domains whereas very few offer direct medical or psychological services to their members (Lucca and Allen 2001;Hargreaves et al 2007). However, contrary to expectations, members were more likely than staff to perceive the clubhouse providing assistance with housing and medication management.…”

“…Clubhouse space was perceived as less accessible to members and less equalitarian than indicated by club staff. Members also significantly perceived the clubhouse environment as less empowering, which unfortunately has also characterized other psychosocial rehabilitation programs (Lucca and Allen 2001). Mowbray et al (2006) found that clubhouse members were less involved in programs proclaiming empowering experiences through administrative and managerial duties.…”

Several studies have been conducted about Clubhouse operations and the users of Clubhouses (i.e., members); however none have sought to weigh the importance of both staff and member perceptions of the Clubhouse environment. A measure assessing the program climate as well as service components was administered to both members and staff across a representative sample of Clubhouses. In addition, level of program fidelity was included to examine differences between high and low fidelity clubhouses and ratings of the program environment. Two overarching questions were explored in this study: (1) to what extent do staff and members share common perceptions of the Clubhouse environment, and (2) is fidelity to the Clubhouse model relevant to rating of the program environment? Members and staff were concordant on 68% of the environmental assessments. Across all program environment domains, staff ratings of the clubhouse environment were higher than those of clubhouse members. Staff endorsed items reflecting the philosophy of the psychosocial program whereas consumers perceived the environment in terms of the actual services or lived experiences. Members of relatively high fidelity Clubhouses rated the program environment higher on five dimensions.
