This paper contains a description of a mental health consultation process, Collaborative Consultation, by which professionals and nonprofessionals or paraprofessional community consumers (of psychological services) together can develop prevention services designed for eventual implementation by qualified consumers. The purposes of this paper are: (a) to describe the collaborative consultation process, both conceptually and through illustrative examples, (b) to demonstrate that collaborative consultation adheres to mental health consultation conventions, while combining features of “consultation” with those of “collaboration,” (c) to provide some guidelines on learning phases for professionals, and (d) to suggest approaches for extending and evaluating the collaborative consultation process.
