A balanced collection of both research and how-to chapters, Public Mental Health Marketing helps practitioners and researchers learn to target specific groups more effectively, increasing their marketing effectiveness to benefit both mental health agencies and the people they serve.

Consumer-Run Mental Health
Consumer-run organizations and other types of mental health self-help are becoming increasingly popular in the public mental health system. These initiatives now outnumber traditional mental health organizations in the US (Goldstrom et al., 2006). This growth is due in large part to their low cost, devoted supporters, burgeoning evidence base, and increased acceptance by mental health professionals. International interest in these initiatives is also growing as self-help is flourishing in industrialized countries worldwide. I recently edited a special issue on mental health self-help for the American Journal of Community Psychology and we received submissions from five continents, with exciting work coming out of China, Australia, and Europe. The proposed book develops a rich theoretical model called the Role Framework, which explains how people engage in and benefit from mental health consumer-run organizations (CROs).
Innovation without Change?
In this stimulating book, the author argues that the only way for radical improvement in our impoverished mental health sector is only achievable if mental health consumers have a much more powerful say in the planning and running of services. Only then will we see new directions in treatment, more relevant services, and considerably increased quality - consumers as colleagues.

Mental Health Consumers' Perspectives on Traditional Mental Health Services Versus Peer-run Services
The purpose of this study was to examine mental health consumers' perspectives on traditional mental health services versus peer-run services. Three mental health consumers, a family member of each, and a mental health worker of each were selected using purposive selection and were interviewed one time each about traditional mental health services and peer-run services. Several themes emerged in addition to traditional mental health services and peer-run services, including alcohol and other drugs (AOD), family issues, boundaries and ethics, and medication issues. I found that these mental health consumers preferred traditional mental health services over peer-run services. The limitations of the study included the small sample size and purposive sampling which could affect validity. Future research directions should include the connection between mental health consumers and AOD and the effectiveness of peer-run services as an adjunct therapy for mental illness.
