The Consumer
Provider Association in New Jersey |

...a statewide network
of mental health service providers who have also been consumers of
mental health services.
Our purpose is to
support, guide and advocate for our growing role and increased
professionalism in
the mental health system. Utilizing our unique perspective, we help
ourselves, other professionals
and the general public deal more humanely and effectively with the
challenges of mental illness
and the treatment system.
We accomplish our
mission through education, advocacy, professional development and
networking. We seek ultimately to improve the mental health system
throughout the state.
