Olmsted County is exploring the possibility of bringing an “international clubhouse” mental health program to the area. The clubhouse model is an evidence-based, non-clinical approach that supports adults living with a mental health condition. It provides a space for community and purpose as well as access to employment, education, housing, and wellness supports. The model helps reduce isolation and reliance on higher cost services.
