With new Clubhouses appearing on virtually every continent, it became clear that the Clubhouse community needed a formal Clubhouse accreditation process, accredited Clubhouse Training Centres, and an international organization of Clubhouses to be responsible for managing it all. Clubhouse International (formerly the International Centre for Clubhouse Development) was created in 1994 to meet these needs.

​Progress Place is proud to be one of 12 international Clubhouse Training Centres currently serving over 380 Clubhouses worldwide in 33 countries. Clubhouse training brings staff and people with real-life experience of mental illness together in a full-immersion program to learn all aspects of Clubhouse operations.
