Hope Clubhouse is a community of support for adults living with a mental illness which provides opportunities for paid employment and access to education, housing and wellness.
It is prevention for our members in that they find Healing, Opportunity, Purpose and Empowerment (HOPE) at the Clubhouse, while getting a fresh start to a fulfilling life.
With a focus on providing the best facility and tools for our existing and new members, we are excited about the announcement of our capital campaign at our Faces of Hope luncheon held at the Broadway Palm in November, that will help us launch the renovation of our existing facility and expansion to a second Clubhouse in a critical need area within Southwest Florida.
