"I applaud Mental Health America for its century of outstanding work on behalf of individuals with mental illness. As someone who has worked on mental health issues for more than three decades, I know how imperative it is to have the grassroots advocacy and leadership of Mental Health America to keep this issue on the forefront of our national agenda. The passage of the Mental Health Parity Act, which Mental Health America championed, has been a great achievement, but we must continue to work together across our nation to ensure that prevention, early diagnosis, treatment, and recovery are available to everyone who experiences mental illness."
