The Carter Center Mental health and anti-stigma experts Dr. Patrick Corrigan, Dr. Ben Druss, and Charles Willis address the misconceptions about mental illness. The Carter Center’s Mental Health Program Director Dr. Thom Bornemann facilitates. Mental illnesses are extremely common—one in four Americans will experience one in their lifetime—yet advances in treatment and understanding of mental illnesses have not changed public perception of these disorders. Many people incorrectly believe mental illnesses cannot be treated or that a person with a mental illness is more likely to be violent. Noted mental health and anti-stigma experts Dr. Patrick Corrigan, Dr. Ben Druss, and Charles Willis address these and other misconceptions that are the most harmful to efforts to improve access to mental health care and fight discrimination against people with mental illness. The discussion is facilitated by the Center's Mental Health Program Director Dr. Thom Bornemann. 4/16/2009 http://www.cartercenter.org/resources/media/podcasts/new/Myths_and_Realities.mp3 http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/www.cartercenter.org/resources/media/podcasts/new/Myths_and_Realities.mp3 Thu, 16 Apr 2009 18:19:18 -0400 Non-Profit no 01:30:10 Conversations at The Carter Center, Mental Health Program, Carter Center, Jimmy Carter, Rosalynn Carter, John Hardman, mental health, mental illness, stigma, mental health, mental health policy, Patrick Corrigan, Ben Druss, Charles Willis, Thom Bornemann The Carter Center Leaders in international election observation discuss elections in countries emerging from warfare or under threat of conflict.

Recent and upcoming election projects will be analyzed as well as emerging standards for credible elections, a project spearheaded by The Carter Center.

Today, there are fewer than 5,000 cases in six African countries—Sudan, Ghana, Mali, Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Niger—making Guinea worm disease poised to be the next disease after smallpox to be eradicated. Dr. Donald Hopkins, who directs all health programs at The Carter Center and is a leading expert on disease eradication including smallpox, and Dr. Ernesto Ruiz-Tiben, who leads the Center's Guinea worm eradication program, discuss the journey toward this public health achievement and the strategy to reach zero cases of the disease. 1/15/2009 http://www.cartercenter.org/resources/media/podcasts/new/Zeroing_In_On_Guinea_Worm_Disease.mp3 http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/www.cartercenter.org/resources/media/podcasts/new/Zeroing_In_On_Guinea_Worm_Disease.mp3 Thu, 15 Jan 2009 20:00:00 -0500 Non-Profit no 01:31:30 Guinea worm, Guinea worm disease, dracunculiasis, Don R.
