Grant Description: The Consumer/Peer-Run TACs will assist in the transformation of the mental health system by providing consumers with necessary skills to foster consumer/peer-run programs. These programs maximize consumer self-determination and recovery and assist people with severe mental illness to decrease their dependence on expensive social services and avoid psychiatric hospitalization. The Consumer/Peer-Run TACs support the work of SAMHSA?s Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) to transform the mental health system through changes that help adults with severe mental illnesses recover and live independently and productively in the community. CMHS fosters consumer involvement in the planning, delivery, and evaluation of mental health services and recognizes the role of self-help, mutual support, and empowerment in the recovery of persons with a severe mental illness.
