A Clubhouse is:
A place where people with serious mental illness (members) participate in their own recovery process by working and socializing together in a safe, welcoming environment.
An organization that operates on proven standards developed over 6 decades by Clubhouse International and effective in over 350 Clubhouses worldwide.
A community-based approach that complements available psychiatric and medical treatments.
"Fresh Start motivated me to make important life changes, by hosting a successful and supportive environment."
— Sebastian P., Fresh Start Clubhouse Member
Our Purpose: To develop and expand Michigan Clubhouses, empower members in their recovery, and create societal change for people living with mental illness.
Our Vision: Provide equal opportunities for everyone with a mental illness in Michigan to achieve their aspirations through the support of a Clubhouse in their community.
