Folks:
Click on to www.cnmhc.org. We finally, after many years and many helpers, have a web site. There are still glitches to work out. However, the Board has approved making it public.
“Consumer” run groups? The Network’s policy reads ‘clients’.

Didn’t really expect the Network to acknowledge the Accountability Caucus in this list, even tho’ it is a client group made up mainly of longtime activists.

But was truly surprised to find them calling the Alliance for Community Care, the largest non-profit provider in Santa Clara County, a client (‘consumer’) run group. Nice little slip-up, it shows I guess how little is understood about Silicon Valley client activism.

Went to an event sponsored by ALLIANCE on Thursday. There were a handful of clients there.  :-)
