Join Us! 4th Anniversary Celebration: Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act
The Bill went on to pass the Senate and provisions were included in the 21st Century Cures Act – signed by President Obama on Dec. 13, 2016 – but there’s more work to do. While we needed everything we got, we didn’t get everything that we needed.
Thanks to Tim Murphy, PhD – Congressman R-PA (Ret) for his unwavering and steadfast efforts to make untreated and under-treated serious mental illness a congressional priority and Representative Eddie Bernice-Johnson (D-TX) for her valued expertise as psychiatric nurse and for co-authoring the bill to make it truly bipartisan.
The groundwork has been laid that provides the foundations for a full streamlined continuum of coordinated psychiatric treatment and care for people living with untreated and under-treated serious mental illnesses. It’s time to take things to the next level. Nothing can stop us now!
