Arrowhead Clubhouse receives long-term community support.
SCCSS is proud to share a significant milestone for Arrowhead Clubhouse - a new five-year funding commitment from the shíshálh Nation.
As part of Mental Health Week (May 4–10), Sunshine Coast Community Services Society (SCCSS) is proud to share a significant milestone for Arrowhead Clubhouse - a new five-year funding commitment from the shíshálh Nation.
This investment provides stable, long-term support for a program that plays an important role in strengthening mental health and well-being across the Sunshine Coast.
Arrowhead Clubhouse is a welcoming, community-based program where adults experiencing mental health challenges can build relationships, develop life skills, and find a sense of purpose through connection and participation in daily activities.
This approach reflects a growing understanding that mental health is shaped by more than medical care alone. Access to community, stability, and meaningful connection all play a role in supporting well-being.
A partnership rooted in community
shíshálh Nation has committed $25,000 annually over five years, strengthening a longstanding relationship built on mutual respect, shared learning, and care for community well-being.
This funding allows Arrowhead to continue offering consistent, reliable support to those who need it most, while also supporting long-term planning and program stability.
For many members, Arrowhead is more than a program - it is a place of connection, belonging, and hope.
“For many of our shíshálh Nation members, Arrowhead Clubhouse has been a place of support, connection, and healing. We recognize and thank their team for the important role they continue to play in the wellbeing of our community.”

Arrowhead continues to work in partnership with the shíshálh Nation to create a safe, welcoming space for First Nations members, while supporting broader conversations around healing, community, and well-being.
Supporting mental health through connection
Over the past year, 232 individuals accessed Arrowhead Clubhouse, many facing complex challenges including housing instability, addiction challenges, health concerns, and social isolation.
Through consistent connection and support, members are able to take meaningful steps forward - including securing housing, accessing recovery programs, and navigating healthcare and social services.
Programs like Arrowhead not only support individuals, but also help prevent crises before they escalate, reducing pressure on hospitals, emergency services, and other public systems.
This kind of long-term, community-based support is made possible through partnerships, public investment, and community generosity.
