"I've got a job to do!" A study of the Clubhouse Model.
Clubhouses are designed to provide work, educational and social opportunities for people with long-term mental health difficulties. Based on their experience in the USA, where the clubhouse model was pioneered, Sue Hutt and Pam Buttrey have written a report, summarised here, which puts forward some good reasons for establishing clubhouses throughout the UK. Their research was assisted by a grant from the Institute's Health Services Management Development Trust.
