Founded in 1984 and operating out of British Columbia (BC), Pathways Clubhouse (Pathways) helps people suffering from mental illness. The charity is accredited by Clubhouse International and follows the clubhouse model of care – psychosocial rehabilitation for those living with chronic mental illnesses. According to Pathways, workers experiencing mental health challenges are less productive which costs the Canadian economy over $6 billion annually. The charity runs supported housing, food services, education, and employment as its core programs. Other programs include wellness, youth, young adult, social activities, and Chinese support. The charity spent $2.0m on its programs in the fiscal year ending March 2023 (F2023).
Core programs include its Alexandra Court townhouse which housed 118 people in F2023. Pathways is also building the Rio Vista 80-unit apartment block which it expects to finish by 2025. The charity also served over 14,000 meals to its community in F2023.
Other programs covers outreach, youth services, community events, and other subprograms. In F2023, Pathways delivered 30 educational presentations at five schools covering mental health stigma. The charity also hosted nine community socials (picnics, escape room visits, and other outings).

Comments & Contact
Comments added by the Charity:
The charity added this comment to a previous profile:
Pathways Clubhouse is a mental health program, accredited by Clubhouse International. Our Clubhouse offers hope, encouragement and opportunities to people who live with mental illness. Pathways Clubhouse helps members recover from mental illness and rebuild their lives through a supportive environment that focuses on each person’s strengths and talents, rather than illness. We work together as a group and create opportunities for members to advance their education, gain employment, have a place to live, connect with their families, make new friends, and create multiple successes. We also provide mental health public education to increase awareness and understanding of issues and concerns about mental illness and mental health.
We believe that the rehabilitation of people with mental illness must involve the whole person in a process of gradual acceptance into, and being embraced by, a community of mutuality, respect and opportunity.
