The Clubhouse model and employment following brain injury

Abstract

The Clubhouse model has a long history of effective support among people who experience disability due to psychiatric impairment. However, it had not been used with other groups until its recent adaptation among people who experience disability following brain injury. The model is known for its consumer direction, community basis, and long term supports. Preliminary results indicate that the' model may also be very effective in supporting community and vocational tenure among this new group of individuals.
