Nominations for the 2007 Adult Consumer
Mental Health Service Excellence AwardsThe Mental Health Planning and Advisory Council (MHPAC) is appointed by the Governor to serve as a planning and advisory council for the Washington State mental health system. One of our goals is to support and advocate for quality, cost effective and individualized services through evidence-based practice models of care.
The MHPAC has chosen Adult Consumers as the focus population for the 2007 Excellence in Mental Health Service awards. Three awards for service excellence will be given for individuals/programs in Washington State:
Exemplary Adult Consumer Program - One award will be given to a mental health program that delivers mental health services to Adult Consumers.
Exemplary Service Provider - One award will be given to an individual whose primary job is to provide mental health services to Adult Consumers.
Exemplary Advocate - One award will be given to an individual advocate or group of individuals who support/advocate for the mental health needs of Adult Consumers.
Any individual or agency within Washington State that provides, supports, or advocates for adults with mental health needs is eligible for nomination. A site visit to finalist programs may occur in August and the awards will be presented at the September 12, 2007 All Council Meeting at the Sea Tac Red Lion.
