A message from Mary:
I encourage you to participate in the formulation of the emerging health care economics reform. Please focus on and promote proposals that protect the therapeutic relationship, i.e. access, choice, privacy and quality in the area of mental health and substance abuse services. Two essential aids are available to help with this at www.thenationalcoalition.org  1) Keeping Mental Health in Mind an E-zine for Mental Health Policy & Practice and 2) a White Paper on the Essentials of Mental Health Treatment.This white  paper is available in HTML format where it can be shared on social networking sites.
