Abstract
Transitional employment (TE) within the Clubhouse model has been adopted across Canada and the world for its effectiveness in promoting work and recovery for persons living with mental illness. However, attempts to establish a TE program in the province of Québec have been met with numerous roadblocks. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, this study aimed to synthesize knowledge that could inform local implementation of TE. Experiences of Montréal Clubhouse members and Canadian Clubhouse directors were examined. Member narratives identified employment-program and systemic shortcomings, while directors provided key strategies for overcoming barriers to TE implementation.
