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.
Building
Bridges: Mental Health Consumers and Members of Faith-Based and
Community Organizations in Dialogue booklet
This dialogue was the fifth in a series of dialogues sponsored by
SAMHSA’s CMHS. Beginning in 1997, mental health consumers have met
with groups of formal mental health providers—psychiatrists,
psychologists, social workers, and psychiatric-mental health nurses—to
open lines of communication.
