The CAFÉ TA Center’s Focus newsletter is a monthly publication that highlights important issues and connects our center with the consumers and consumer organizations that we exist to support. Each month, Focus will examine targeted areas, providing you with resources, information, and experience within our target topic areas, workforce development and supported education. In addition, we will share information that will build the capacity of organizations and leaders to sustain mental health systems transformation, including leadership, organizational development, and mental health. Focus will also feature organizations, leaders, and experts that can assist you in developing your efforts and promote the consumer movement in system transformation.
