Regional Consumer Coordination
Regional Consumer Specialists provide leadership and support to consumers with mental health and substance use disorders to understand how they may strive for recovery and wellness within the Behavioral Health System.
Regional Consumer Specialists act as the consumer’s voice to influence policy-making as the behavioral health system transforms to be more consumer and recovery oriented.
One vehicle used to help consumers is the Wellness Recovery Action Plan classes which are offered through Region II Human Services. WRAP classes are self-management and recovery oriented plans that introduce new wellness tools and recovery strategies. A WRAP plan is developed and managed by the consumer and is designed to:
- Decrease and prevent intrusive or troubling feelings and behaviors.
- Increase personal empowerment.
- Improve quality of life.
- Assist people in achieving their own life goals and dreams.
- WRAP is applicable to mental health, substance use disorder and gambling.
Peer Support Groups are consumer groups that focus on common struggles and common solutions in the area of mental health and substance use disorder. The meetings are an opportunity for peers to come together and have a safe place to openly talk about life. Regional Consumer Specialists encourage consumers to come together wherever and whenever possible to support each other and develop mutual peer support as a culture within Region II.
