The National Mental Health TA Center for Consumer Progress will provide technical assistance, training, and resources that facilitate the restructuring of the mental health system through effective consumer-directed approaches for adults with serious mental illnesses across the country. The project utilizes a peer-driven approach that is founded upon strategies and interventions consistent with self-determination and recovery models and guided by expert consultants and national technical assistance professionals. The Family Cafe Mental Health TA Center will include outreach to diverse populations, holistic approaches to health care through a medical home model, a repository of information, training, tools, and resources that promote the successful hiring and support of peer specialists, and resources and training that will ensure consumer leaders contribute to the system's capacity to protect the rights of individuals with mental illness. This project will serve consumer-run organizations, consumer-assisted organizations, grass roots, consumer-directed programs, consumer leaders, and their partners through a peer driven process guided by the Advisory Committee, Coalition for Diversity, and the Rights Protection Roundtable.
