We are Engaging Connected MH Consumers –
Strategizing for positive changes in Local Systems of Recover, BeWell, Santa Barbara County Behavioral Wellness, and Community Based Organizations.
Advocates in Action built Recovery Zone on the foundation laid by two other Santa Barbara consumer groups, Prop. 63 for Me and MHSA Our Way, which have attempted to help guide the enactment of the Mental Health Services Act of 2004. To an unprecedented degree, these two groups made Santa Barbara consumers part of the dialogue about mental health services. The main difference between the organizations is that Recovery Zone, while also consumer led, includes friends and supporters of the consumer movement as well. It is hoped that this will give it more firepower.
