Hear from Gary, a member from Club Cadillac in Michigan, USA.

"Getting back into the workforce was very difficult. I applied for a job at Meijer (a grocery store) and did not get the job. A few months after, I started attending Club Cadillac. They inspired me to never give up if you want something.

I reapplied for the job one year later, and was hired on the spot. I want to see how far I can grow with the company because I enjoy it so much. It gives me a lot of pride to be in the workforce. I know Club Cadillac is always here for me and they make me feel so good about my accomplishments."

July 25 is National Schizophrenia Awareness Day

"Schizophrenia is a psychiatric condition that has severe effects on your physical and mental well-being. It disrupts how your brain works, interfering with things like your thoughts, memory, senses and behaviors. As a result, you may struggle in many parts of your day-to-day life.

Untreated schizophrenia often disrupts your relationships (professional, social, romantic and otherwise). It can also cause you to have trouble organizing your thoughts, and you might behave in ways that put you at risk for injuries or
other illnesses." - Cleveland Clinic

Joel Corcoran, Clubhouse International's Executive Director and CEO, joined Seth Kahan's podcast "Grand Challenges" to talk about the power and impact of the Clubhouse Movement.

"Joel shares how a grassroots group in 1940s New York City became a worldwide movement of Clubhouses, inclusive, member-driven spaces where recovery isn’t just possible, it’s thriving. These aren’t clinical programs; they’re dynamic, intentional communities where people with serious mental illness find purpose, opportunity, and belonging. Staff and members work side-by-side, not as patients and providers, but as partners, rebuilding lives through meaningful work, education, friendship, and advocacy. It’s a model that empowers people to move from isolation to contribution and the ripple effect reaches far beyond the clubhouse walls."
