Our History
In 1984, a group of parents had a vision of a place where their adult
children could find meaning in the midst of their persistent mental illness.
They created a home-like environment in southwest Houston that
encourages interaction, involvement and growth – a place where adults
dealing with the difficulties of mental illness can gather for friendship and
social activities as well as for rehabilitation and training opportunities.
They named this The Gathering Place.
At The Gathering Place, members learn new ways of coping with their
illness, often discovering hidden aspirations and talents that give their lives
fresh meaning and inspiration. It is truly a place for making a new start. No
other resource exactly like this exists in the immediate community or in
the entire state of Texas.
In November 2010, The Gathering Place merged with The Menninger
Clinic, a top ranked specialty psychiatric hospital. Together with
Menninger, The Gathering Place is committed to continue the clubhouse
free of charge and offer quality programs that enhance the lives of our
members.
