Welcome to Integrity in Action, LLC

As Editor of Community Mental Health Association of Michigan (CMHA), I have compiled a wealth of stories from CMHA and beyond. In order to timely post these rich stories and to broaden the reach of Connections, CMHA and I have worked together, and agreed, that I should create a vehicle to accomplish this goal.

IntegrityinActionLLC.com was created to reach this goal. Integrity in Action, LLC, while working closely with CMHA in sharing podcasts to ensure broad distribution, is an independent organization from CMHA.

Connections is designed to help build and enhance the relationships people need to be successful in achieving their goals. Its purpose is to be an avenue for the exchange of information that includes people’s dreams, stories, concerns, successes, etc. Its intent is to connect us all – the individuals who sit around the boardroom table, our customers, our administrators, caregivers, and our partners in the communities in which we live. People who are working every day to realize our vision for a higher quality of life for everyone in our communities. We hope that you will explore this site and share it with others. After hearing the experiences of others, you may want to contribute your own story. We connect by sharing stories. They create indelible pictures. A simple story can teach us more than reams of prescriptive documents about the important ingredients of effective services. We need your stories so they can be shared with others.

The first Connections recordings were created at the CMHA Annual Fall Conference in October of 2022. These first podcast interviews were created during an Educational Breakout Session before a live audience of conference attendees. Now, I present to you the voices from that conference of those with lived experience. I hope you enjoy listening to their stories with the joy I received sitting with each of them. All of the upcoming interviews on our website will be created by me, with a passion to hear and embrace the person sitting before me on screen or in person. I look forward to continuing to create podcasts and collecting writings for Connections that inspire, encourage and empower you, the listener and the reader.
