The Consumer Council is an advisory committee to the PIHP of Genesee County Community Mental Health (GCCMH).

Consumer Council:

• Is made up of individuals who receive services through the GCCMH network of providers.  50% of the membership must be individuals who directly receive services through the CMH provider network, including substance use disorder services.
• Also includes family members of service recipients, community advocacy groups, other community representatives, and a member of the GCCMH Board of Directors.

The Consumer Council organizes advisory groups, ad hoc committees, and workgroups with the goal of reviewing and providing feedback to the PIHP regarding GCCMH programs, policies, and procedures.   

Throughout the year the Consumer Council sponsors activities such as the annual GCCMH Art Contest and the Walk-A-Mile in My Shoes rally in Lansing.

A prerequisite for becoming a member of the GCCMH Consumer Council is successful completion of the Consumer Recruitment course offered through Customer Services.
