10.2190/SH.7.1.d E38P51909N2L658P 4 The Relationship between Sense of Mattering, Stigma, and Recovery: An Empirical Study of Clubhouse Participants in the U.S. Midwest 41 57 20130114 20130114 20130114 20130114 E38P51909N2L658P.pdf http://baywood.metapress.com/link.asp?target=contribution&id=E38P51909N2L658P 1 Deborah L. Conrad-Garrisi RN, PhD, LLP Francesca Pernice-Duca Ph.D. Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan Individuals who experience a sense of mattering are more likely to experience higher levels of psychosocial well-being. Individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) often experience ostracism and social rejection rather than a sense of mattering, partly due to the stigma associated with SMI. Examining sense of mattering as a component of social support is a contribution of this study. Clubhouses provide support and assistance to individuals with SMI. The clubhouse program provides an intentional environment that creates a sense of community and offers an opportunity to develop sense of mattering, build skills, and develop peer relationships, which promotes recovery. A sample of 143 clubhouse members from 10 clubhouses participated in interviews about experiences of being a clubhouse member; perceptions of sense of mattering, stigma, and recovery. Results confirmed a sense of mattering is predictive of a subjective recovery. Individuals that experience a greater sense of mattering experienced less perceived stigma.
