The PCC is a non-profit organization of 26 clubhouses, committed to improve the quality of life and community integration of people recovering from a long-term mental illness. “Clubhouse” is a community-based, social and vocational rehabilitation program based on the world famous Fountain House model. This model features "work" and “membership” as the primary methods for providing participants with increased opportunities in employment, housing, education, skill development, and social activities. PCC clubhouses follow the International Clubhouse Standards published by the International Center for Clubhouse Development (ICCD). In Pennsylvania, these clubhouses meet the criteria for community support programs and psychiatric and psychosocial rehabilitation services. Mental Health Consumers throughout Pennsylvania experience the process of mental health recovery through the personal empowerment achieved through clubhouse membership. Above all, clubhouses are a place of hope!
