National
Coalition Conference |
|
This is the third national Conference of the Coalition. Today we
have the opportunity to create a new public consensus for real
mental health care. There is now increasing evidence that the
rationing of mental health care has been a failure. Managed care
has failed to live up to all its promises. It has failed
clinically, morally and, now, even financially. This Conference
will examine the future of mental health care and present new
public education initiatives of the National Coalition. It is time
to move mental health care to the top of the public’s agenda for
the 21st century. The speakers for this event will discuss how we
can reach consensus for this new vision. This conference will also
honor the work and vision of our Founder, Karen Shore, who has
led the National Coalition for nine years. Our new president,
Deborah Peel, will mark this transition by presenting Karen with
the First Annual Karen Shore Award for Mental Health Advocacy. She
will then lead a discussion of the Inform America Campaign. |
