Consumer empowerment, both individually and within the service, is a growing trend in mental health. This trend is such that consumers are having more input into the service being provided. Shared control is a wave of the future, thereby increasing consumer empowerment not only within the service but within our own lives. The road is long and there are many bumps along the way for both the consumer and the health worker, yet the results of consumers leading quality lifestyles gives other consumers hope that they too can be capable of being active participants rather than relying on others to take care of them.
消费者赋权，无论是个体层面还是在服务体系内，都是心理健康领域日益增长的趋势。这种趋势使得消费者在所接受的服务中有了更多的参与度。共享控制权是未来的潮流，从而不仅在服务体系内，也在我们自己的生活中增强了消费者的权能。这条路很长，消费者和医护人员在途中都会遇到许多坎坷，然而，消费者过上优质生活方式所带来的成果，让其他消费者看到希望，即他们自己也能够成为积极的参与者，而不是依赖他人来照顾自己。
