What is Ocean House? A psychosocial rehabilitation program for adults with severe and or persistent mental illness. Ocean House practices under a hybrid model of the International Center for Clubhouse Development and psychosocial rehabilitation. What that means is it uses some of the ICCD practices and some of the PSR practices to combine them into one program.

History Ocean House opened in the late 70’s as a drop in center. People would come in and socialize. In 1984 Ocean House moved towards a clubhouse model. Ocean house at this time was operating under the model set forth by the ICCD. In the 2000’s MHA took over and started the best practices model which transformed the clubhouse into a hybrid model between clubhouse and psychosocial rehabilitation.

Ocean House Mission MHA Mission The Mental Health Association in NC is our state’s oldest and largest mental health advocacy organization. The Association was organized in 1914 and chartered in 1939.
