POLICY & REFORM
The world is currently grappling with a mental health crisis. This urgent situation arises from a tangled mix of factors, including the pervasive stigma surrounding mental health, insufficient access to quality care, escalating pressures from social and economic issues like poverty and inequality, and ineffective policies that fail to adequately address the problem.
Research & Publications
“Today is even more cruel because we have treatment that significantly reduces the worst symptoms of that neurological condition. Treatment that is proven to prevent people from ending up in those chains. As a society, we have decided that we won’t give the treatment. Instead, we have decided to withhold it and allow people to end up back in chains. This is just very hard to bear. That’s why my friends and I have connected from around the world to form our college- so that we have others with whom to share this burden. And that is why we were all standing in that jail together. ”
