This initiative focuses on gathering personal stories and experiences from youth and families to highlight the importance of their inclusion in the mental health system. The Boulder and Summit County teams aim to actively involve young people and families in every aspect of the mental health establishment process. By June 2010, the goal is to integrate non-token youth and family members into decision-making roles. This involves conducting partnership trainings, identifying potential leaders, and providing necessary support and training to empower youth and families.
