Consumer/Survivor Database of Interests

The Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) has developed a listing of over 550 consumers/survivors who are interested in participating in future CMHS activities. This enables CMHS to call upon you or others if activities are begun in any of the areas listed below.

This database list is also available publicly via SAMHSA's National Mental Health Information Center to consumers/survivors to network with one another around similar issues/interests. The database provides a valuable service enabling individuals and organizations to share information on what they are doing in these areas.
