\"Championing\n <\/p>\n

\n

New York, NY, October 10, 2025 –(PR.com<\/a>)–\u00a0Clubhouse International, a global mental health organization, is pleased to present, ConnectionWORKS<\/a>, a World Mental Health Day 2025 campaign, which highlights the transformative power of the Clubhouse approach by emphasizing the essential role that connection plays in mental health recovery.<\/p>\n

Clubhouse International is honored to partner with the World Federation for Mental Health and 43 member Clubhouses from five countries and 12 U.S. states on this campaign. Together, we are working to advance global and community-driven solutions toward transforming mental health outcomes by raising awareness of the Clubhouse Model, reducing stigma, empowering and celebrating the voice of lived experience, and encouraging greater investment in mental health services.<\/p>\n

Mounting research shows that strong social connections can help reduce the risk of depression and anxiety, improve self-esteem, and increase feelings of happiness and life satisfaction. Conversely, lack of social connection increases the chances of experiencing loneliness, depression, and anxiety. (Source: NIH National Library of Medicine)<\/p>\n

The World Health Organization\u2019s Commission on Social Connection (2025) has declared loneliness a global public health crisis. The Commission\u2019s findings reveal that:<\/p>\n

\u00b7 1 in 6 people globally experience loneliness
\u00b7 Loneliness is linked to 871,000 preventable deaths each year\u2014that\u2019s nearly 100 every hour
\u00b7 It erodes health, education, economic resilience, and overall well-being
The 2025 Report urgently calls for:
\u00b7 Treating social and mental health with the same urgency as physical health
\u00b7 Scalable, systemic solutions to rebuild connection
\u00b7 A future where more connections lead to better health and stronger communities<\/p>\n

Connection is not optional\u2014it\u2019s essential. The goal of their 2025 campaign is to champion the transformative power of connection in mental health recovery\u2014and demonstrate how the Clubhouse approach saves lives and transforms communities every day.<\/p>\n

For example, Lucas a member at Progress Place, Toronto, Canada shared: \u201cI have been a member of Progress Place for just over a year. In that time, I\u2019ve been able to come out of my shell and do things that I previously did not have the confidence to do. The community here has been absolutely wonderful and has given me a safe and vibrant place to progress in life.\u201d<\/p>\n
