The Alternatives Conferences, sponsored by CMHS,
began in 1985 as an
educational and networking forum for national, state and local leaders
andadvocates in the consumer/survivor movement. Past themes of Alternatives
conferences have focused on the latest issues involving policy, research,
treatment and recovery, education, advocacy, and organizing. These
meetings have helped to bring together consumer/survivor leaders from
around the country, build relationships and alliances, and strengthen
the consumer/survivor movement and overall consumer voice in the mental
health care system.
