Client and Family Leadership Committee

The Client and Family Leadership Committee brings together individuals with mental health lived experience, family members and others to advise the Commission on priority challenges facing California’s mental health system. The Committee will focus on the implementation of California’s work to establish a Peer Support Specialist certification, as required under Senate Bill 803 (Beall, Peer Support Specialist Certification Program Act of 2020). Under that statute, the California Department of Health Care Services is charged with establishing a process for certifying Peer Support Specialists in California. The committee may also focus on other related activities.
