WEST MICHIGAN COMMUNITY
MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES

Supplanting the institutional icons of the One-Flew-Over-the-Cuckoo's-Nest era, community mental health (CMH) agencies model new definitions of "recovery."  Where once clinicians imposed "cures" on their patients, today's CMH professionals now assist clients who articulate and achieve their own personal life goals.
 
  


 

Orienting others to WMCMH's "culture of recovery,"
Angie, Heather, Donna, and Glen share their successes and hopes.
