Identifying Unique Community Integration Efforts.  The UPenn Collaborative on Community Integration is looking for innovative programs/initiatives that help to promote community integration of individuals with psychiatric disabilities.  Specifically, we are looking for programs that:

1) Address community barriers that limit the opportunity of people with mental illnesses to participate in the community like everyone else.
2) Provide rehabilitative supports that address an individual’s unique needs. 

The UPenn Collaborative will select programs that meet the above criteria to FEATURE on our nationally acclaimed website.  Please contact Pam Cousounis at 215-746-1950 if you represent or know of an organization that has developed and utilized an innovative community integration initiative and would like to share this information with the UPENN Collaborative.
