Consumer & E-Patient Scholarships

The application process for the 2012 Consumer & E-Patient Scholarships is closed.  Thank you for your interest.

The Collaborative Family Healthcare Association (CFHA) promotes a comprehensive and cost-effective model of healthcare delivery that integrates mind and body, individual and family, patients, providers and communities. CFHA is committed to the engagement of patients and consumers in the ongoing dialogue about how best to deliver integrated health care across the country.

The organization is providing financial support to consumers of mental health and substance use services, e-patients (engaged patients and family caregivers) who wish to attend the 2012 CFHA annual conference.

The purpose of this scholarship program is to increase the focus on recovery and consumer/patient engagement in the health care system and to support the inclusion of consumer and e-patient voice in CFHA’s annual conference.

Eligible recipients will self-identify as a consumer of behavioral health services or as an e-patient or engaged family caregiver with financial need for a scholarship. Scholarships will be awarded based on the merit of the application and resources available.

Scholarships are made possible by the generosity of corporate, foundation, and individual sponsors. "Full scholarships” (scholarships inclusive of registration, travel, hotel, and meals) may not be available to all applicants.
