Abstract

A public mental health clinic formerly serving only children and seeking to broaden its service and financial base joined with a consumer advocate, the United Auto Workers, to provide treatment to underserved blue-collar workers.

The authors discuss various problems in implementing this program, which they offer as a possible model for financing community mental health services.
