The Clubhouse Model of Community Support for Adults with Mental Illness: An Emerging Opportunity for Social Work Education

Pages 173-180 | Accepted 01 Jun 1995, Published online: 10 Jan 2014
 

Abstract

The Clubhouse Model of community support is enjoying renewed interest among social workers and social work educators concerned with alternatives to traditional forms of community mental health treatment and rehabilitation. This article describes the model and its underlying congruence with social work theory and practice. Findings of the National Task Analysis Study of Social Work Practice are presented that suggest an increasingly important role for social workers and social work educators in the continued growth of this practice model.
