The Temple University Collaborative on Community Inclusion of Individuals with Psychiatric Disabilities (formerly the UPenn Collaborative on Community Integration) has published Into the Thick of Things: Connecting Consumers to Community Life – A Compendium of Community Inclusion Initiatives for People with Psychiatric Disabilities at Consumer-Run Programs. Based on a national survey of consumer-run programs, it offers examples of consumer-run services that have found innovative ways of helping people with psychiatric disabilities to reconnect with their communities. The TU Collaborative will offer trainings to other consumer-run programs that wish to develop their own community inclusion initiatives.
