Our Mission

Focus Clubhouse’s mission offers people living with mental illness opportunities for friendship & the resources to find employment, housing, education, medical and psychiatric services in a single caring, and safe environment. This social and economic inclusion reverses the alarming trend of higher suicide, hospitalization, and incarceration rates associated with mental illness.

Who We Are

Focus Clubhouse is a free Acadiana based membership community where people living with mental illness can focus on leading personally satisfying and productive lives through positive socialization with their peers.

Members are treated as equals, not patients, sharing ownership and responsibility for the success of the Clubhouse. They work together in an empowering environment, partnering with a small staff where the focal point relies on building their strengths. Healing and development are achieved in the clubhouse through building meaningful relationships while exploring work and educational opportunities, which are proven to be restorative and provide a firm foundation for growth, dignity, and individual achievement.
