		<description>A Google search on the three key words, mental health transformation, suggests that &lt;i&gt;transformation&lt;/i&gt; is occurring across the nation. It is easy to assert transformation without actually achieving it. After all, systems which operate sans accountability too often rely on decal rather then deeds.

As the previous poster rightly noted we are moving along the alphabet in the public mental health system. I remember when all provider agencies asserted adherence to the &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mentalhealth.samhsa.gov/publications/allpubs/sma05-4129/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Fundamental Components of Recovery&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt; and regularly achieved outcomes reflecting the underlying principles. More recently, where providers had once limited themselves to asserting recovery alone they now say they foster both &lt;i&gt;Recovery and Wellness.&lt;/i&gt;

&quot;I was a patient, then a recipient, then a client, and now I am a consumer but the only thing that changed was my medication.&quot; Anonymous</description>

		<description>FYI &quot;transformation&quot; is the word of the moment in poblic mental health services. Past transient keywords include &quot;reintegration&quot; and &quot;recovery&quot;. At least we&#039;re moving along in the alphabet.</description>

		<description>No, it will not be transformative. It never is - at least, not for the poor.

It would take a lot more than a bill to change things. It would require an entire cultural paradigm shift. We live in an increasingly sociopathic society, so I doubt that shift will occur.</description>
