PEER ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The CDMHC Peer Advisory Committee (PAC) is made up of approximately 7-10 patients of the Mental Health Center who have demonstrated a level of wellness in personal recovery. The PAC discusses ideas of interest that will help the MHC function as smoothly as possible, with the patient focus front and center. They meet the 3rd Wednesday of every month at 12 noon.
Jennifer Brush, the CDMHC Executive Director, also attends the board meetings and brings system and management issues to the table for review and input. The PAC reviews the suggestions from our lobby suggestion boxes and offer proposals to make the experience of visiting the MHC more comfortable for the patients and their families.
Annually the Peer Advisory Committee conducts an annual clothing drive and other fundraising in support of Mental Health HEROES (a non-profit organization which helps people with mental illness meet emergent financial needs).
