Virtual Training:  The Granite Pathways' Clubhouse Program – The International Clubhouse Model of Psychosocial Rehabilitation

Presenter:  Kelly Parsons,  Manchester Pathways Lead Wellness and Recovery Generalist

This presentation will provide an informative overview of the Clubhouse model of psychosocial rehabilitation, emphasizing its benefits in today's society. Originating in the 1930s, the model has supported individuals with mental health challenges in their recovery through meaningful work, relationship-building, and overcoming isolation. In 1985, the International Brain Injury Clubhouse Alliance was established to assist individuals with acquired brain injuries, further expanding the model’s reach.

Seacoast and Manchester Pathways are among the few Clubhouses worldwide that serve individuals with both mental health and brain injury challenges. Employment is a key component of the Clubhouse model, offering independent, supported, and transitional job opportunities with assistance from staff members and New Hampshire Vocational Rehabilitation services.  Members of the Manchester Clubhouse will assist in presenting this information.
