HB 2942 - DIGEST

Finds that the involvement of persons with mental illness, their family members, and advocates in designing, implementing, and delivering mental health services reduces unnecessary hospitalizations and incarceration and promotes the employment of persons with mental illness. To improve the quality of services available and promote the rehabilitation, recovery, and reintegration of persons with mental illness, consumer and advocate-run mental health services are an integral part of the community mental health system and shall be supported.
