Welcome
to the home page for The Massachusetts
Leadership Academy for Consumers and Families.
As a person with a serious mental illness, or his or her family
member, what are your experiences in trying to get the help you
need? How well do others understand you or your family member's
mental illness? You may have encountered things you would like
to change - Maybe the mental health system or the stigma of
mental illness.
But where do
you begin? How do you organize? How can one person really make a
difference?
The Massachusetts
Leadership
Academy for Consumers and Families
can help. During a three day training session, you will learn
the skills you need to get involved and work for change.
The
Massachusetts Leadership
Academy will
teach you how to:
- Keep
informed of local and state mental health issues that may
affect you.
- Decide the
best action steps to take on your concerns.
- Organize
your local advocacy group into a respected and effective
voice on mental health.
You will also
meet others from around the state who share the same interests
in creating better services and living conditions for persons
with mental illness
