Summary
This chapter provides an overview of the Clubhouse model of psychosocial rehabilitation, reviewing the basic components of the approach: building community, shared work, meaningful relationships, and a commitment to the rights and self-determination of participating individuals. As a recovery-oriented environment for people living with mental health challenges, supported decision making is a naturally occurring aspect of the Clubhouse model. In the context of the ongoing discussion regarding Article 12 of the Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities (CRPD), this chapter considers the Clubhouse model as an example of a social support network that can help individuals make constructive decisions while at the same time maintaining their autonomy and living independently on an equal basis with others.
