The Alliance for Rights and Recovery is supporting an important research study funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and conducted by the University of Pittsburgh in collaboration with RAND. The study seeks to better understand the experiences of individuals receiving and providing services through Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs) across New York State.
We are currently recruiting:
- Peer Specialists, Case Managers, and Supervisors working in NYS CCBHCs.
- Individuals Receiving CCBHC Services who are 18 or older and have a primary mental illness or psychiatric disorder.
Participants will receive $50 for a one-time, 45–60-minute interview, conducted by phone, Zoom, or in person when feasible.
This research will help build a better understanding of how CCBHCs are being implemented, their impact on service delivery and quality, and the experiences and outcomes of people receiving services.
Your voice and experience matter! We encourage eligible individuals to participate and CCBHC providers, peer organizations, and community partners to share this opportunity widely.
