The Escondido Clubhouse is a 501(c)(3) non-profit and a program of TURN Behavioral Health Services. It is a voluntary program for adults living with a diagnosed mental health condition to join a community of peers and use their strengths, talents, and abilities in an environment that focuses on teamwork, healthy lifestyles, and individual choice. At the Clubhouse, members achieve educational goals, develop essential work skills to return to productive employment, and, when needed, secure affordable housing.
We are Accredited!
Being an Accredited Clubhouse by Clubhouse International means that the program meets the rigorous quality standards outlined in the International Standards for Clubhouse Programs™. These standards define the core values and practices of the Clubhouse model, emphasizing community, meaningful work, member involvement, and recovery-focused support for individuals living with mental illness. Accreditation is granted after a thorough process that includes a self-assessment, an in-person site visit by trained Clubhouse faculty, and a comprehensive report. This process ensures that the Clubhouse operates in alignment with evidence-based best practices, offering members a dignified, empowering environment where they can build relationships, skills, and confidence.
Accreditation is more than a credential—it reflects a Clubhouse’s ongoing commitment to excellence, accountability, and the core principles of psychosocial rehabilitation. Accredited Clubhouses gain access to continued support, training, and resources through Clubhouse International, helping them stay current and responsive to member needs. It assures members, families, funders, and the broader community that the Clubhouse is a reliable and transformative space that fosters recovery, inclusion, and opportunity. In short, accreditation validates the Clubhouse as a strong, member-centered community grounded in respect, purpose, and shared responsibility.
