MENTAL DISABILITY CRISIS

Created by R.M. on July 16, 2014

The United States is the greatest country in the world. I believe our one issues is how we treat people with mental
health disabilities.

We, with our federal, state and local governments stepping to the front, need to tell people that having a mental health disease is not bad and they should not be ashamed. I believe this will help people who want to hurt themselves or others.

Develop a mental health day where public service announcemts are on our television stations. Let famous people tell their story so others do not feel they are alone.

Explain to people where they can go for help and they are not alone. Show everyone that people with Mental Health Diseases can contribute to our society.
