The Carter Center Mental Health Program - Determining the Direction

"Mental disorders are among the most prevalent of all health conditions. We have effective treatments available, but the vast majority of people who need treatments do not get them."

—Dr. Thom Bornemann, director
of the Mental Health Program

How is the program agenda determined?

To guide the symposia and other Mental Health Program activities, Mrs. Carter established the Mental Health Task Force in 1991. The task force identifies major issues in the field, convenes meetings, and develops initiatives to reduce stigma and discrimination. Retired task force members who wish to remain active in the Mental Health Program's activities are invited to join the National Advisory Council.
