MPOWER and the Transformation Center are becoming two separate organizations.
MPOWER will continue its grassroots action and will be funded by membership dues and donations. Call to join and get an update on our progress with bylaws and fundraising plan: a membership meeting will be held to discuss them. After June 2007 this website will become more focused on our continuing fight for rights, respect, and decent treatment. Stay tuned ! The Fresh Air Campaign and Emergency Room Rights legislative effort are unfolding now!
The Transformation Center is a peer-operated center that is spinning off from M-POWER to strengthen a mental health focus on wellness and life recovery. We currently offer training for Peer Specialist Certification, Leadership Academy, WRAP Facilitation, Recovery Conversations for Providers and more. Efforts will expand advocacy, resources & information, peer programs & evaluation, and policy input from people with lived experience of mental health conditions and/or addictions. Watch for the new website after June 2007 at Transformation-center.org. Visit our supporters now at mamhtransformation.org.
The Transformation Center works closely with Recovery Learning Communities (RLCs). RLCs will be funded in the future as local networks. They will offer training and support for peers working and volunteering to promote wellness and recovery close to home. RLCs will help you find out about resources, join support meetings, use and develop talents as a facilitator, get training, and be an advocate for mental health and addiction recovery.
