The California Association of Mental Health Peer Run Organizations proposes the Consumer Leadership and Support Project" (CLASP) to support and advance recovery-oriented systems in behavioral health at the State and local level. CLASP's goals are to advance consumer leadership and voice as a vehicle toward recovery oriented systems change and to advance peer support as a vehicle toward recovery oriented systems change. CLASP will achieve these goals through many strategies including: (1) engaging with under-represented populations, such as Hispanic, rural, and young adult communities, in systems change activities via Finding Your Voice workshops; (2) enhancing consumer voice, empowerment and participation in behavioral health policy, planning, and implementation through practical in-person and virtual skill building trainings; and (3) forming collaborations and partnerships with consumer run programs and state, local, and allied stakeholder organizations to pursue its strategies and partnering with local consumer-run organizations to maximize its outreach capability. Finally, through its website and Facebook page, policy papers and news briefs, conference presentations and tabling, CLASP will share mental health awareness messages with 2000 people.
