President's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health
Family Voices, Friday's Child, July 19, 2002
The President's New Freedom Commission
on Mental Health is soliciting public
comment from stakeholders in the mental
health community. The purpose of obtaining
public comment is to assist the Commission in
formulating an action plan for the
President that will improve America's mental health
service delivery system. The topics
will be listed on the website and will change periodically,
focusing first on identifying problems and barriers within the
system, and later on identifying
solutions. Comments relating to the first
set of topics will be most helpful to the Commission if
submitted by August 20, 2002. An
additional set of topics will be posted after that time.
The public may provide comments to
the Commission through three methods:
The website. Comments can be sent electronically or printed off and
mailed to the Commission;
Mail written comments or information to the Commission; or
Present comments in person to the Commission during the public
comment period held at every Commission
meeting.
It is really important for families to give their feedback and input
during this process. Your comments will
strengthen and shape the work of the
President's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health.
