One of the most important ways we can improve outcomes for those struggling with #mentalillness is by supporting entrepreneurs in getting breakthroughs, such as the @OneMindOrg Accelerator, into the hands of the people that need them faster.

Homeless individuals with mental illness can be forced down the path of food insecurity. Access to food and shelter is a human right. Combine meeting these basic needs with mental health services, and we can improve this community's health and well-being. #HHWeek

This NYT letter to the editor caught my attention. Ann's right. What we are doing now is not sustainable. Funding recovery needs to be a top priority so community-based services can thrive. @VannaHealth is creating innovative funding mechanisms for recovery for people with SMI.

Does less sleep result in worse mental health? While correlation is not causation, CDC data suggest a growing problem with both sleep and #mentalhealth in youth.

Allowing room for discovery is critical during youth, as is having people, place, and purpose. Great piece by @Nature!

For decades, Rosalynn Carter has been a voice for those struggling with serious #mentalillness. Her leadership during the last time the federal government took a leading role in mental health reform galvanized generations of activism.

Her policies may have been dismantled, but they have inspired generations of activists.
