Today is the start of Mental Illness Awareness Week (October 4-10) which highlights efforts to promote public education and eliminate stigma.
Beginning this week and continuing throughout the month of October, many PBS television stations will broadcast MINDS ON THE EDGE: Facing Mental Illness.
MINDS ON THE EDGE is a multi-platform media project that explores severe mental illness in America. The goal is to advance consensus about how to improve the kinds of support and treatment available for people with mental illness.
MINDS ON THE EDGE connects the dots between personal dilemmas facing individuals and families who are living with mental illness, medical practices that can be obstacles to treatment, and public policies that all too often fall short in providing support that could make a positive difference.
