Around the World of Clubhouse: this month we're in Ohio, USA

This Women’s History Month, we honor our women Clubhouse colleagues who are integral to our community.

Meet Lori D'Angelo, Executive Director of Magnolia Clubhouse and longtime leader of the Clubhouse movement. Lori shares the story of Magnolia's growth and success.

"Magnolia Clubhouse was originally established as Hill House in 1961. The organization had a long history of high quality and worked in tandem with the Clubhouse model as it grew. Magnolia Clubhouse was formally established in 2004 and continued to expand, obtaining funding from the Ohio Department of Mental Health, which allowed us to expand the model across the state. There are now 11 organizations developing Clubhouses in Ohio. We worked with our neighboring states of Michigan and Pennsylvania and developed advocacy best practices to expand the model in Ohio, and are now sharing our experience with New York and other states to further the growth of the Clubhouse model across the country.

I discovered Hill House as a doctoral graduate student in psychology in 1993, was hired after I completed my post doctoral fellowship in 1997 and have been here ever since, and lucky for me, finding Hill House changed and made my life so rich! "

Hale O Honolulu Clubhouse recently held their Social Rec in Haleiwa town, where members had the opportunity to explore the charming local shops and enjoy a refreshing treat at the famous Matsumoto Shave Ice. Known for its colorful, flavorful shave ice, Matsumoto is a must-visit spot on Oʻahu’s North Shore.

It was truly a time to experience the other side of the island with peace, connection, and engagement — creating shared memories while enjoying the relaxed beauty and community spirit that Haleiwa has to offer.

Around the World of Clubhouse: This Month we're in Pennsylvania, USA

Membership Without Barriers. Recovery Without Limits.

"At Clubhouse of Lehigh County, we are proud to celebrate members whose journeys reflect resilience, growth, and leadership — and Sabrina Parker is a powerful example of that spirit.

When Sabrina first became a member, she was experiencing homelessness and navigating significant life challenges. Through the support and community of the Clubhouse, Sabrina was able to secure supportive housing, connect with peer specialist and case management services, and begin building stability and confidence in her daily life.

Today, Sabrina is a respected and emerging leader in our Culinary Arts Unit, where she contributes her skills, creativity, and encouragement to fellow members. Her commitment, reliability, and passion for teamwork have made a meaningful impact on our community.

Sabrina is also excited to take the next step in her Clubhouse journey — attending Comprehensive Clubhouse Training this May at Gateway Clubhouse in Greenville. This opportunity reflects not only her personal growth, but her dedication to strengthening the Clubhouse model and supporting others on their paths to recovery.

We are honored to walk alongside Sabrina and can’t wait to see what’s ahead for her."

Aloha all! We had a wonderful Valentine’s Day dance celebrating with our friends from Koʻolau Clubhouse and Makaha Clubhouse. A big shout-out to Linda for making her delicious homemade turkey chili — it was a hit, especially paired with chili fries and nachos! There’s truly nothing better than coming together to celebrate a day filled with love, laughter, and great food. 🌺
