Mental health advocates do not need qualifications. They are good citizens and are a crucial and important part of a good-running society.

Good citizens get to choose what they spend their time, energy and resources to improve their community, be it local or global.

It seems that Dorrance Collins and Faith Myers are interested in the mental health system in our society. It’s a known fact that the mental health system of care in the United States needs an overhaul.

Thank goodness Collins and Myers volunteer their precious time on the topic of our mental health system. 

When one considers how stigma and ignorance plays into this whole mental health issue - the ways it impacts our neighbors and society as a whole - the courage shown by good citizens like Collins and Meyers is that much more outstanding and that much more appreciated.
