Mission Statement
This website is dedicated to those who would like to know more about their (and their family's) mental health care. Many prominent groups, such as Healthy People 2020, are concerned that is substandard and needs considerable improvement. To improve mental health care will require an informed public and much re-orientation of thinking. I'll address these issues from both the individual and the broad societal perspective.
