Our Voice of ME

001 Voices from the Consumer Council System of Maine

Consumer Council System of Maine Episode 1

In this heartfelt introductory episode of Our Voices of ME, we sit down with four staff and board members from the Consumer Council System of Maine (CCSM) as they share their deeply personal lived experience stories with mental health challenges and services. These brave storytellers reflect on their journeys through struggle, healing, resilience, and advocacy — highlighting the importance of peer support, recovery-oriented care, and the value of being heard. From navigating complex systems to discovering strength in community, this episode offers raw honesty, inspiration, and a deeper understanding of what it means to live with mental health challenges in Maine. Join us as we amplify the voices of lived experience, break stigma, and celebrate the power of storytelling in shaping systems that truly support wellness and recovery.  Whether you’re someone with lived experience, a supporter, an advocate, or just curious to learn more — this episode offers something meaningful for everyone.
