Thank you Anand Giridharadas for the incredible shout out to Fountain House as an example of "hope" at 92nd Street Y's event with journalist Tina Brown while discussing your latest book, Man in the Mirror: Hope, Struggle and Belonging in an American City.

"[T]here was so much bleakness when I was reporting this book that even I felt I needed a solution...Fountain House is...the answer....."

There are so many riveting books out this fall that I could not resist doing another live interview at the 92Y with the incisive political and social commentator Anand Giridharadas.

Yesterday, Fountain House joined Clubhouses across the country for Fountain House United and Clubhouse International’s (Clubhouse International - ICCD) Congressional Advocacy Day: Recovery is Possible!

Alongside dozens of Clubhouse advocates, we spoke with federal representatives about the power of Clubhouses, their importance in mental health care and the need for funding.

“I’ve met so many amazing people at the Clubhouse and it allows us leave our mental health diagnoses at the door and be regular people. I feel like the Advocacy Day is really important because we need more places like Clubhouses, more safe spaces, more places with opportunities, more inclusion and more of the holistic approach that Clubhouses bring to mental health.” - Mercedes, a B’More Clubhouse member (B'More Clubhouse)
