Watch President Obama's Opening Remarks at the Conference:
"The brain is a body part too; we just know less about it. And there should be
no shame in discussing or seeking help for treatable illnesses that affect too
many people that we love. We've got to get rid of that embarrassment; we've got
to get rid of that stigma."
-President Barack Obama
RAMS, Inc. was honored to take part in this important conversation and national advocacy on mental health. We are more than ever committed to this cause and will continue to work with other organizations, healthcare providers, advocates, and consumer groups locally, statewide, and nationally in order to raise awareness, reduce the mental health stigma, and reach out to those with mental health issues in need of support. We want to insure that mental health is an integral part of healthcare delivery - there is no health without mental health!
The Obama Administration also launched a new online resource MentalHealth.Gov, aimed to provide one-stop access to U.S. government mental health and mental health problems information. We encourage you to visit this website and share this great resource with others.
