The AIM Center Clubhouse is a safe place where adults living with Serious Mental Illness (SMI) are able to transform, heal, connect, and focus on wellness. Using the Clubhouse model of psychosocial rehabilitation through Social Practice, we develop an individualized recovery plan with every member. We empower Clubhouse members to build relationships and work toward wellness side-by-side with other members and staff. We are the only Clubhouse in the state of Tennessee accredited by Clubhouse International.
Clubhouse membership is open to anyone at least 18 years of age or older with a serious mental illness. What is a serious mental illness you may ask? The word ‘serious’ just means it disrupts your day-to-day life. Certain diagnoses like major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and even some eating disorders can fall into this category. If you’re curious about membership, we encourage you to learn more by clicking the button below or scheduling a tour to come by the Clubhouse!
