Summit County Clubhouse

Summit County Clubhouse (SCC) provides support & community for people with substance abuse and mental health challenges.  We help members live connected and satisfying lives through productive work, meaningful relationships and direct assistance with employment, education & housing. 

"Clubhouse offers practical solutions, step-by-step guidance and connections to a caring community.  It's a place to belong, where you’re allowed to be honest about your struggles instead of being embarrassed by them."  - Kristi 

How Clubhouse Works

WORK-BASED RECOVERY - Members and staff work side by side to manage the Clubhouse in a team approach based on mutual respect.   Members who build confidence and skills at Clubhouse transition back into the workforce sooner and stay employed for longer.   

SOCIAL CONNECTION - Members develop relationships during evening & weekend events such as concerts, bowling, game nights, BBQ's and more.  Holidays are celebrated on the day on which they fall - often a difficult time for people living with mental health challenges. 

DIRECT SUPPORT  - Clubhouse provides direct assistance with EDUCATION, EMPLOYMENT and HOUSING.  Through our Emergency Fund, we are able to step in when financial emergencies may otherwise lead to relapse or homelessness.
