Where is the Clifornia clients movement headed in regards to recovery? Is the self help movement going to be called  The Mental Health Clients Recovery Movement?  If so, whose definition of recovery are we going to use? The definition I got in Modesto has a bunch of clichés one after the other and is open to many meanings.

They use words like ‘productive’ and ‘meaningful’. Does that mean if you are not productive in any sense of the word you are not in recovery? I know that an AMI member in my county said that, “If you are not insightful into your illness you can not recover.” If you use the word meaningful, meaningful to whom? I know these are a great many complex questions, but I have them just the same.

I have but one more. Who or where is the idea steming from for California and what is the vision?

Sorry that was two more.
