Enfield Clubhouse is a small independent charity set up to help people with  mental health issues recover purposeful lives in the community. We aim to help people  with the most severe and enduring mental health problems such a schizophrenia,  bi-polar disorder (or manic depression), psychotic depression and anxiety  disorders find and sustain meaningful work, social lives and supportive relationships. Enfield Clubhouse has been operational since March 2006 and  currently opens two days a week (Wednesdays and Fridays)

We aim to offer a  programme of support and opportunities for people with severe and persistent  mental illnesses.  A key objective of Clubhouse is to provide people with skills, support and encouragement to enable them to obtain meaningful employment. We also aim to provide a range of social activities and outings that people can participate in.
 
In contrast to traditional day-treatment and other day  program models, Clubhouse participants are called "members" (as opposed to "patients" or "clients") and restorative activities focus on their strengths and abilities, not their illness. The Clubhouse is not a clinical programme, meaning there are no therapists or psychiatrists on staff. All clinical aspects of the program have been removed so as to focus on the strengths of the individual, rather than their illness. Additionally, all participation in a clubhouse is strictly on a voluntary basis. 

The members, staff  and volunteers Clubhouse work side-by-side to manage all the operations of the Clubhouse, providing an opportunity for members to contribute in significant and meaningful ways; therefore, a Clubhouse is operated in a partnership model with members staff and volunteers, working side-by-side as colleagues.  Through this environment of  support, acceptance, and commitment to the potential contribution and success of each individual, Clubhouse is a place where people can belong as contributing adults, rather than passing their time as patients who need to be treated. 

The Clubhouse Model seeks to demonstrate that people with mental illness can successfully live productive lives and work in the community, regardless of the nature or severity of their mental illness Enfield Clubhouse is based at Community House Fore St Edmonton and currently open two days a week Wednesday’s and Friday’s.  It is a place where people can make friends in a safe non judgemental environment.
