This thesis aims to find out what the Study Coaching is in ESKOT ry Club-houses and what kind of tools and techniques are used in it. Studies indicate an increase in mental health issues among adult students and in the future different forms of support are needed to complement the support services the education institutes provide. The ESKOT ry Clubhouses are day-activity pro-viders for people who are recovering from mental health problems. The Study Coaching is part of the Clubhouse operations and it is created to provide sup-port for those members who are studying or are interested in studying.
A mixed data collection method was used to gather materials for the research. The main focus was on interview data from interviews with five (5) of the Study Coaches which was supplemented with academic and web-based materials. Qualitative data analysis was implemented by thematic analysis and coding was used to discern relevant themes from the gathered materials. The coded themes were then expanded to build the base for the results of the research questions.
The main outcome of this study is explaining the forms of support used in the Study Coaching in ESKOT ry Clubhouses. They are divided into individual support where the Study Coaches encourage and support the participating members in creating goals and plans for how they are going to achieve their goals, group support which is often peer support on different topics, and com-munity support from the whole Clubhouse community. The community sup-ports its members in learning and thus gains new skills and talents for the community. The results also explain networking inside and outside of ESKOT ry Clubhouses and its importance to the Study Coaching.
The second result chapter lists the tools and techniques often used in the Study Coaching process and gives examples of some of these tools and tech-niques.
Keywords: The Clubhouse model, lifelong learning, social empowerment, study coaching
