Patrick J. Kennedy: “we can intervene early. We can save lives.”

when mental health gets 0.04 percent of the CARES Act funding, it says a lot about where mental health is in this country.

If this were any other issue we would move heaven and Earth to deal with it. In COVID we responded right away, everybody inoculation, everybody out there. The longest impact of COVID is going to be mental health, and yet, we don't treat it.

It is prejudice and discrimination to think that if a person has a mental illness, they are not capable of functioning.

it is shocking. Literally as shocking as it is that we don't address mental health in our healthcare system is that we don't address mental health in our education system.
