CPA is:

...a statewide network of mental health service providers who have also been consumers of mental health services.

Our purpose is to support, guide and advocate for our growing role and increased professionalism in the mental health system. Utilizing our unique perspective, we help ourselves, other professionals and the general public deal more humanely and effectively with the challenges of mental illness and the treatment system.

We accomplish our mission through education, advocacy, professional development and networking. We seek ultimately to improve the mental health system throughout the state.
