What You Can Do
Every person in our community is touched by mental illness. And every person can make a difference in changing the conversation.
After you attend our We Need to Talk public lectures, take what you've learned and
Talk to your family...
Talk to your friends...
Talk to your doctor...
Talk to your school...
Talk to your clergy...
... about psychiatric illnesses.
Make sure everyone you know understands that most psychiatric illnesses can be treated and managed just like other medical illnesses.
Our Mission: IDEAS in Psychiatry is a nonprofit educational institute that provides useful, accurate and up-to-date scientific information about psychiatric illnesses, symptoms, and treatments. Our goal is to change the conversation -- to encourage open, honest and informed discussion – so that those impacted by mental illness can seek effective help for themselves or their loved ones and so that professionals have the tools to deliver the best care possible.
