Involve consumers and families fully in orienting the mental health system toward recovery. Align relevant federal programs to improve access and accountability for mental health services; and develop peer support programs as an adjunct to mental health services. Develop paid positions for veteran(s) within the facility. Network to work with mental health leadership in developing peer-to-peer programs. In response to the recommendations of the commission report, the VA developed its own agenda for transforming mental health care delivery in the VA system.
