Building Bridges: Co-Occurring Mental Illness and Addiction: Consumers and Service Providers, Policymakers, and Researchers in Dialogue booklet
The Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS), within SAMHSA, has been given the lead in implementing the policies to improve the coordination of treatment and services identified by President George Bush’s New Freedom Commission on Mental Health. The Commission’s Final Report highlights the importance of convening participatory dialogues—a process that CMHS has used since 1997 to bring together consumers of mental health services and professional service providers. In 2003, the crisis level of co-occurring disorders made it clear that CMHS should convene a dialogue between consumers with co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns and service providers, policymakers, and researchers. This report summarizes the meeting and the recommendations made by the participants.
