"Promoting mental health for all Americans will require scientific know-how, but even more importantly, a societal resolve that we will make the needed investment. The investment does not call for massive budgets; it calls for the willingness of each of us to educate ourselves and others about mental health and mental illness, and to confront the attitudes, fear, and misunderstanding that remain as barriers before us."
