2 Our Vision is a world where people living with mental illness anywhere can experience the dignity, hope and opportunity found at our member Clubhouses. Our Mission is to help establish and support Clubhouses in every city and town; to coordinate a vital international network of Clubhouses; and to provide Clubhouses with training, quality assurance, research and advocacy. 2

3 Our strategic priorities fall into six mission-critical categories: Expansion: accelerate the growth of Clubhouses so that more people with mental illness in more communities around the world can find and receive the help and support they so desperately need. Accreditation: grow the number of Accredited Clubhouses to ensure the continued consistency and quality of the Clubhouse experience for members, no matter where they are. Training: increase the number and scope of our training programs to support new Clubhouse development and Accreditation around the world Research: increase the quantity and quality of research that demonstrates the effectiveness of our Clubhouse model to the mental health field globally. Advocacy and Public Awareness: enhance and coordinate advocacy and outreach efforts to help end the stigma surrounding mental illness and promote public support and funding for the Clubhouse model around the world. 3

12 New Policy Regarding Accreditation: As of January 1, 2015 Accreditation will become a requirement of membership in Clubhouse International Developed in response to ongoing concern about programs with low fidelity to our Standards being included in the Clubhouse Directory and the resulting negative impact on the understanding of our model New member Clubhouses and currently non-accredited Clubhouses will have time to achieve accreditation 13

13 New Clubhouses: Will have four years to achieve accreditation from the time they join Clubhouse International Currently Non-Accredited Clubhouses: Will have two years from January 1, 2015 to achieve accreditation OR If the Clubhouse has been a member for less than four years it will have until it s fourth anniversary to achieve accreditation. 14

18 Mosaic Clubhouse in London, England, to Resume Providing Training Mosaic Clubhouse, one of the Clubhouse International Training Bases, recently moved into a new building in a new location. As a result we are delighted to announce that Mosaic Clubhouse is now fully settled into its new home, and will resume providing training. Its first group in the new location will be a three-week Comprehensive Training, November The newly refurbished building is in Brixton SW9, which is a ten minute walk from the Brixton Underground Station and Rail Station and is also accessible by many buses. Central London can be reached very quickly and easily from the Clubhouse.

19 There were 108 unique Clubhouse groups that participated in training in We anticipate that a similar number of groups will participate in In 2013 we worked with many Clubhouse volunteers to translate 10 key training articles written in English into 5 additional languages (Norwegian, Spanish, Swedish, Danish and German). We are currently translating the articles in to Chinese and Japanese. 20

20 New Clubhouse Development Training: 60 Groups trained in Australia, USA, Japan, Romania and Sweden between have opened Clubhouses 16 are in various positive stages of development 11 no longer pursuing starting a Clubhouse Overall, 82% have opened or are making good progress to do so. 5 are now accredited (B More, Putnam, HOPE, Elkhart, Painting Pathways) 21

33 TRANSFORMING LIVES, ENHANCING COMMUNITIES: INNOVATIONS IN MENTAL HEALTH 34

34 MENTAL HEALTH WORKING GROUP MEMBERS Professor Vikram Patel, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (Co-Chair) Dr. Shekar Saxena, Director of the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse, WHO Thomas Bornemann, Carter Center, Atlanta Philip Campbell, Editor, Nature Keshav Desiraju, Secretary of Health, Government of India Helen Herrman, University of Melbourne, Australia Tom Insel, Director, NIMH Nigel Jones, Co-head of healthcare, Linklaters Arthur Kleinman, Harvard University Lord Richard Layard Maria Elena Medina Mora, Institute of Psychiatry, Mexico Olayinkao Omigbodun, University of Ibadan, Nigeria Inge Petersen, University of Kwazulu Natal, South Africa Michael Phillips, Shanghai University and Chair of the China-India Mental Health Alliance Graciela Rojas, Universidade de Chile, Chile Benedetto Saraceno, Gulbenkian Foundation Peter Singer, CEO, Grand Challenges Canada Lord Dennis Stevenson Rangaswami Thara, Schizophrenia Research Foundation, India Graham Thornicroft, Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London Jurgen Unutzer, University of Washington, USA John Williams, Wellcome Trust Tedla Wolde-Giorgis, Advisor, Ministry of Health, Ethiopia 35

35 For this report, we have highlighted a small number of outstanding innovations in keeping with the cross-cutting principles and based on one or more of the following criteria: Are consistent with the highest standards of human rights. Represent a range of mental health problems. Include experiences from high-, middle- and low-income countries. Show evidence of impact and are cost effective. Are delivered at scale and/or are potentially transferable to other contexts. Many of these innovations could be used to address a number of different policy actions. For ease of presentation, we list the innovations under the most dominant policy action that they address. An excerpt from the WISH Mental Health Group Report December

36 2: EMPOWER PEOPLE WITH MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS TO PROVIDE SUPPORT TO EACH OTHER People with mental health problems and their carers must be empowered to advocate for the services that best meet their needs and should be involved in delivering these solutions. There are many examples of empowerment initiatives across the world as this forms the value base of all family, survivor and user-led mental health NGOs. You can read more about the specific role of mental health NGOs in the report Driving Change,30 developed for WISH. A safe space in which to build communities of support and empowerment can be of enormous benefit to people with mental health problems. One organization with innovative ways of providing such a space is Clubhouse International, a global network of community centers in 33 countries. WISH Mental Health Report

37 MENTAL HEALTH INNOVATION NETWORK REPOSITORY We have created an open-access Web-based repository of more than 60 mental health innovations as part of the Mental Health Innovation Network (MHIN) funded by Grand Challenges Canada The repository provides a description of each innovation and its impact, along with images, videos and links to further information, including websites, published papers and reports. Following the WISH Summit, the repository will continue to be expanded with the intention that it will serve as an open-access resource for policy-makers, researchers and practitioners to access and implement knowledge about mental health innovations. 38

38 Conrad N. Hilton Humanitarian Prize 39

39 The Conrad N. Hilton Humanitarian Prize is the world s largest humanitarian award at $1.5 million. Established in 1996, it is given to an organization, anywhere in the world, judged to have made extraordinary contributions toward alleviating human suffering often operating at great risk, hardship or personal sacrifice. The Prize is not only intended to recognize and advance the efforts of the recipient organization, but also to call attention to the worldwide need for humanitarian aid and to encourage others to expand their support. 40

40 WORLD ASSOCIATION OF PSYCHOSOCIAL REHABILITATION 41

41 In any social revolution there are times when the tailwinds of triumph and fulfillment favor us, and other times when strong headwinds of disappointment and setbacks beat against us relentlessly. We must not permit adverse winds to overwhelm us as we journey across life s mighty Atlantic; we must be sustained by our engines of courage in spite of the winds. This refusal to be stopped; this courage to be; this determination to go on - in spite of - is the hallmark of any great movement. -Martin Luther King Jr. 42
