This article is an introduction to a special section on mental health clinicians with a personal lived experience of mental illness (aka 'prosumers') dedicated to the late Dr. Frederick J. Frese III. This introduction provides information on Dr. Frese who was a prosumer and advocate for those with a mental illness. This introduction also provides information on each of the 15 articles in this special section. The section has both empirical articles and personal narratives. It is our desire that the articles will be informative and inspire readers to combat the stigma associated with mental illness. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).
