As a part of a larger study of change towards the values of an empowerment-community integration paradigm in community mental health, we examined changes in 3 mental health organizations in 1 community. Using qualitative methods, we focused on: (a) change pathways, (b) organizational change outcomes, and (c) the factors which helped and hindered change outcomes. We found evidence of a paradigm shift in the values and related practices within the organizations. Our results and themes are discussed and aimed at understanding and integrating knowledge about organizational change and the empowerment-community integration paradigm in community mental health.
