Tuesday, April 28, 2026

12:30 PM - 1:00 PM MDT

Location: Screen 20, Exhibit Hall Poster Pavilion

Serious mental illness drives billions in healthcare, criminal justice, and lost productivity costs each year. This session introduces an economic model that quantifies how the Clubhouse model of psychosocial rehabilitation delivers over $11,000 in annual per-person savings while improving quality of life. Attendees will learn how to translate psychosocial outcomes into economic evidence, apply a replicable framework for demonstrating value, and explore strategies for integrating community-based programs into value-based care models.

Learning Objectives:

Clarify the economic impact of serious mental illness and analyze how Clubhouse participation produces measurable cost savings, highlighting original insights from a newly developed economic model.
Demonstrate how to apply and replicate a prevalence-based modeling framework that translates psychosocial outcomes into economic evidence organizations can use with payers, policymakers, and funders.
Formulate actionable strategies to integrate community-based psychosocial supports into value-based care models, inspiring attendees to advance recovery-oriented, cost-effective systems of care.
