Shore House is A Place to Belong
For most, it’s a family
Shore House is a local community resource where people who participate are known as members. Membership is open to adults living with a mental illness. Shore House is not a treatment program or mental health service, but rather a place where members can learn new skills, develop new relationships, and explore new opportunities.
At Shore House, we believe that meaningful work is restorative. Staff and members work in partnership to execute all aspects of Clubhouse operations. We also provide educational and employment opportunities.

What is A Clubhouse?
The personal stories of members and their families and an increasing body of research provide evidence that Clubhouses provide a holistic, inspiring and cost-effective solution for people living with mental illness.
- A place where people with persistent mental illness (members) participate in their own recovery process by working and socializing together in a safe, welcoming environment.
- An organization that operates on proven standards developed over 5 decades by Clubhouse International and effective in over 320 Clubhouses worldwide.
- A community-based approach that complements available psychiatric and medical treatments.
