Welcome to our new website! If you’re just finding us for the first time, or you’ve been waiting patiently for us to improve our online presence, WELCOME!

We will continue to add information and features, with every intention of providing up-to-date reports of CCSM activities, as well as current events and news in the consumer and mental health community in Maine and beyond. We will ask for your comments and feedback on a variety of issues on a regular basis. Keep checking in and taking part!

The Consumer Council System of Maine exists to make sure consumers/peers of mental health services have a significant voice in what happens in Maine’s adult mental health service system. Our work takes place at the legislature, the Office of Adult Mental Health Services, local communities, and many other settings, doing whatever we can to bring forward our ideas and strategies for consumer-driven, recovery-based services.
