The first webinar in this series was presented on November 15th, 2012. It focused on innovative programs peer-run programs have designed to promote community inclusion and drew on a national survey of peer-run programs jointly conducted by The Collaborative and The Clearinghouse.
The webinar reviewed innovative peer-run programs that have helped to connect people to mainstream community organizations - to work opportunities and independent living settings, to religious congregations and civic and volunteer activities beyond those offered within mental health programs.
Presenters:
- Joseph Rogers -- Executive Director, The National Mental Health Consumers' Self-Help Clearinghouse
- Christa Burkett -- Technical Assistance Coordinator, The National Mental Health Consumers' Self-Help Clearinghouse
