Providing Community and Hope

Our History

Originally named Central Indiana Clubhouse, the roots of Circle City Clubhouse date to 2010 when a group of community individuals, including former Clubhouse members, representatives from NAMI Indiana, and other community supporters came together to found and independently owned and operated Clubhouse. Concerned by the closure of numerous Clubhouse type programs as a result of state funding changes, these individuals had a vision for a Clubhouse that would be its own independent organization and non-profit.

In 2013, generous individuals from the community agreed to donate start-up funding and in December of 2014, supported the purchase of our first location. On February 2, 2015 we opened our doors to members, who choose the name Circle City Clubhouse for their community.

What Drives Us

Our Mission

Our mission is to afford people whose lives have been drastically disrupted by mental illness the opportunity to recover meaningful and productive lives through reintegration with the workplace and the community. We are here to help adults recovering from mental illness through participation in our work-ordered day. We focus on strengths, and we help each other with projects and needs.

“The Clubhouse helped me to get my life back and helped me get out of the house. I have things to do at the clubhouse that give my life meaning. I have made new friends and developed friendships. I work on the computer and the newsletter.”

Sevella

My name is Sevella and I have found, unlike anywhere else, Circle City Clubhouse. It’s a place of compassion, acceptance as well as a place where a person can teach, learn, find employment and socialize. The meetings we have every day and the different things to do during the day every day have given me an outlet despite my illness. It is a place that does not judge my mental illness but accepts me without any questions.

The Clubhouse means a lot to me.It gives me a sense of belonging and acceptance.When I step into the Clubhouse,you leave your illness at the door because everyone has a mental illness except for some of the staff.I go to the Clubhouse part-time and I also work part-time outside of the Clubhouse.
