Independent Facilitators are Peer Support Specialists who support the person-centered planning process.  As an alternative to working with mental health provider staff, consumers sometimes prefer to develop their person-centered plans with the assistance of an Independent Facilitator.  Community mental health providers are required to make independent facilitation services available to any consumers who receive community mental health services.  

For a list of Independent Facilitators in your area contact your local community mental health provider.
