This qualitative phenomenological study explores the meaning of lived experiences for individuals with mental illness in the context of a clubhouse in Korea. In-depth semistructured interviews with 9 clubhouse members were conducted to examine the interactive aspects of clubhouse members and the rehabilitative clubhouse environments. Three major themes from the lived experiences emerged: entering a haven, living in a haven, and having a haven-like hometown. The results of the study indicated that the participants had a broad range of perspectives on mental rehabilitation, including their recognition that rehabilitation meant something more than simply holding a regular job; acceptance of their illness, situations, and limitations; and their desire for a meaningful and fulfilling life within the clubhouse. The results contributed to a better understanding of the lived experiences of individuals with mental illness in the context of a clubhouse and their extended rehabilitation and provided important implications for social work professionals. This study expanded the availability of literature on members’ perceptions of the clubhouse experiences. Future research should be broadened to consider a wider range of people with mental illness, including those in mental hospitals and those secluded to their homes, to provide a better understanding of the overall situation
