The LEAD Program is a statewide three-year project funded by the Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission (MHSOAC) for Client/Consumer Stakeholder Education, Advocacy, and Outreach activities.
The LEAD Program’s goal is to generate awareness of the needs of consumers/clients and ensure that they have a major role in the envisioning, development, and implementation of local and state mental health policies and programs that will result in accessible, high-quality behavioral/community health services and supports.
