Maine Health aand Wellness Toolkit - This is a toolkit to help mental health agencies integrate health into their service settings. It is divided into sections depending on your role within a mental health agency and addresses the following topics:

• How to involve and empower consumers in their health care
• How to link with community resources

Intentional Peer Support - Is a philosophy based on four tasks used to develop and maintain relationships. Through relationships we think about help in a new way. Rather than focusing on problem solving and what we don't want in our lives, we instead challenge one another to discover our hopes and dreams. Together we learn and grow and move towards what we want.
