Citizen involvement in CMHC service delivery has two bases: (a) volunteerism and (b) identification with clients and citizens who may need services. This identification is expressed two ways, as cultural similarity to clients or social activism in their behalf. Paraprofessionals have been portrayed as a major mechanism. Current practice shows some discrepancy from the theoretical program goals. While CMHCs include an appreciable number of volunteers and mental health workers with less than a BA degree, the extent to which they augment services with community or social activism values is doubtful.
公民参与社区心理健康中心（CMHC）的服务提供有两个基础：（a）志愿服务，以及（b）与可能需要服务的客户和公民产生认同。这种认同通过两种方式表现出来，一是与客户的文化相似性，二是代表他们的社会行动主义。辅助专业人员被视为一种主要机制。当前的实践与理论项目目标存在一些差异。虽然社区心理健康中心有相当数量的志愿者和学士学位以下的心理健康工作者，但他们在多大程度上以社区或社会行动主义价值观来增强服务效果仍值得怀疑。
