WELCOME TO KINDRED CLUBHOUSE

Kindred Clubhouse offers a free peer-support model in the Frankston Mornington Peninsula region for people wanting to improve or maintain their mental health through friendships and purpose.
Welcome to Kindred Clubhouse.

I just enjoy doing it, it gives you a purpose in life, creates a schedule for your week. It might take me a few times to get out the door, but when I do, I love it. It really gives me a purpose.

I’ve come to every session since it began. I feel I’m more social, more comfortable, more confident and even more relaxed in social environments. Not just here, but outside too.

About 
Kindred Clubhouse

Kindred Clubhouse Inc. is a non-profit organisation focused on mental health support.

Founded in 2016 to provide individuals with mental illness access to a safe, welcoming space, Kindred Clubhouse aims to create a strong community, network of support, and lasting friendships with access to employment and education opportunities.

A community-based centre located in Hastings on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, Kindred Clubhouse operates in-line with the internationally recognised Clubhouse model – an evidence based model for mental health recovery. 

Kindred Clubhouse is run by and for our members, this means members work side-by-side, as peers and partners, with the staff to run every function of our Clubhouse.

What Is A Clubhouse?

A Clubhouse is an internationally recognised, evidence-based model for mental health recovery. First and foremost a community centre, a Clubhouse offers people with mental illness the help and support to reach their full potential.

More than simply a programme or social service, a Clubhouse is a community of people who are working together to achieve a common goal – the attainment of lasting health and happiness for its members.

Basic components of a successful Clubhouse include: a work ordered day, consensus-based decision making processes, opportunities to access paid employment, assistance in accessing community based education programs, social and medical services and housing, the provision of regular weekend and evening social and recreational activities. To learn more about each of these components check out our Clubhouse information series.

The Clubhouse model is a proven approach to mental health recovery with more than 300 successful Clubhouses across the globe and Australia including Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia and Tasmania.
