We want to see commercials, posters, pamphlets and other mediums used to educate the American public about the reality of mental illness. Mental illness is just that, an illness, and there is treatment and there is hope. It is not a condition a sufferer must hide or be ashamed of.
Americans need to be able to recognize the signs and symptoms of a mental illness in themselves or associates and know where they can turn for help.
We need a plan to combat the tragedies and the lives being ruined by mental disease. Picking up the pieces after a disaster is no longer enough. We must take action to help suffers find treatment and prevent further tragedies.
We have eradicated diseases in the past and we can again.
