form communities
this singular imperative drives all of our work to come.
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 people – communities, organizations, and even other clubhouses – where they are:
How can community transform lives while building healing and well-being into everything we do?
Our Vision
Change the paradigm of mental health through upstream and preventative approaches to wellness and resilience-building
What We Do
In the basement of Travis Park United Methodist Church, the very first clubhouse in San Antonio was started way back in 2003. Our early years forged a path for social justice on behalf of people who had been left behind by society and a deep belief in the power of community in the healing process.
Today, the San Antonio Clubhouse is the flagship program within form communities, a nonprofit that provides a myriad of solutions to communities near and far.
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 Social Practice. 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.
Social Practice
Social Practice is a specialized form of psycho-social therapy utilizing intentional community to support people in their journeys of mental health recovery.
Our Values
Connection
