NEW: @FountainHouse’s latest report shows that clubhouses not only benefit people’s individual recovery but offer huge savings for payers, purchasers, and taxpayers alike.

Simply put: If clubhouses were scaled, we would save billions as a society. https://t.co/RcD4Wz2yXw

Today, we are proud to unveil our new look, commemorating our community, 75 years of dedication, and our vital public policy and advocacy work, aiming to end stigma, decriminalize mental illness, and support community-based care.

@GenesisClub @fountainhouse Thank you Georgia for sharing, and @GenesisClub !

[Fountain House @fountainhouse]

Today marks the start of our Week of Action! Most Americans agree: our country’s mental healthcare system is broken, and we need to fund care that helps people BEFORE they’re in crisis. Clubhouses provide a proven way forward, and we’re inviting lawmakers to see how they work.

[Fountain House @fountainhouse]

Our country needs a comprehensive, well-funded plan that moves people from crisis to rehabilitation without stigma or isolation, and clubhouses offer supportive, therapeutic environments to achieve just that.

[Mary Crowley @marycrow9]

@ashvasnyc Oh bummer. I was rooting for you

[Mary Crowley @marycrow9]

More critically important news today

[Fountain House @fountainhouse]

The @Surgeon_General’s new Advisory details the impact of loneliness on health outcomes and outlines a strategy to strengthen our relationships and society. 🧵 https://t.co/hSoR3Gfckm

[Mary Crowley @marycrow9]

Critically important findings!

[Fountain House @fountainhouse]

Nearly half of voters across the country have a personal connection to serious mental illness, whether it’s themselves or someone close to them. That’s why everyone, everywhere needs access to mental health care. More at https://t.co/TCIWDbXCfa #healingminds #poweringcommunities

Our response to misguided and dangerous policy for homeless people living with serious mental illness - and suggestions for what will really work

[Fountain House @fountainhouse]

STATEMENT:
Without a comprehensive plan that moves people from crisis to recovery, @NYCMayorsOffice’s plan will not address the revolving doors to hospitals and jails and can further stigmatize and isolate people living with serious mental illness. (1/3) https://t.co/nzr673GK7B

Yes! A solution that we must invest in to help people thrive - and communities and families too.

(1/3) This #WorldMentalHealthDay help us spread the word on a community-based solution that works. ⁣
⁣
For 74 years, the clubhouse model, founded by @fountainhouse, has been creating community & proving that people living with serious mental illness can achieve their dreams.

[Mary Crowley @marycrow9]

This is how you make change - with the people who need it at the table and driving it. And that includes our research agenda and methodology!

[Fountain House @fountainhouse]

In a recent article published in @JMIR_JoPM, @fountainhouse discusses a way to dramatically shift how research is conducted and used in real-world settings.

Thank you @NYCHealthCommr Ashwin Vasan and City Councilmember @ebottcher. We couldn’t agree more - we can solve this and save lives

[Erik Bottcher @ebottcher]

TY to @NYCHealthCommr Vasan for pointing out the need for community/socialization for people w/serious mental illness (in addition to needs like housing & health care). We must expand clubhouses like @fountainhouse that fulfill this basic need if we’re going to stem this crisis.

[Mary Crowley @marycrow9]

@RW_Intl @fountainhouse @harknessfellows So glad to host you and the @harknessfellows @RW_Intl
