President's New Freedom Commission Asks for Public Comment

Submit your comments via the website, mail or at the Commission meetings.

The President's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health is soliciting public comment from stakeholders in the mental health community. The purpose of obtaining public comment is to assist the Commission in formulating an action plan for the President that will improve America's mental health service delivery system. The topics will be listed on the website, http://www.mentalhealthcommission.gov/comments.html, and will change periodically, focusing first on identifying problems and barriers within the system, and later on identifying solutions. Comments relating to the first set of topics will be most helpful to the Commission if submitted by August 20, 2002. An additional set of topics will be posted after that time. The public may provide comments to the Commission through three methods:

1. The website. Comments can be sent electronically or printed off and mailed to the Commission;
2. Mail written comments or information to the Commission; or
3. Present comments in person to the Commission during the public comment period held at every Commission meeting.

It is really important for families to give their feedback and input during this process. Your comments will strengthen and shape the work of the President's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health.
