form communities
this singular imperative drives our work.
As a Clubhouse, we understand how to develop strong, resilient communities, and we have worked with groups across the country to adapt these lessons to other communities. As a community of peers, we know the lasting healing that comes from mutual support and the importance of always finding new ways to connect with people. And as a leader in developing a peer workforce across the state of Texas, we’ve learned how to reform mental health systems into communities of care at every level.
In a very real way, we intend to meet others–people, organizations, and entire communities–where they are:
How can community transform lives while building healing and well-being into everything we do?
Our Vision
That everyone has access to communities where mental health is strengthened through proactive, preventative strategies that build resilience and promote overall wellness for all individuals.
Why were founded
Mission, per our bylaws: The mission of form communities is to support chronically mentally ill individuals in the community by providing or facilitating: (i) psychological, peer supported, and vocational rehabilitation services; (ii) pre-vocational training, transitional employment, supported employment; (iii) their adjustment into the broader community and (iv) support for other organizations engaged in work related to form communities.
Community is the Cure
We believe that connecting with others connects you to yourself. In all of our work, evidence-based approaches to recovery reference one of two models: Peer Support and Intentional Communities. In concert, these approaches allow for communities to grow, heal, and support each other.
How We Do It
Peer Support
Peer Support is a widely recognized, evidence-based approach to the process of recovery. People with lived experience walk alongside someone in a journey of healing.
Intentional Communities
Intentional Communities support people in their journeys of mental health recovery by providing access to programming, mutual and professional aid, and social connections.
