In conjunction with the 50th Anniversary of President John F. Kennedy’s signing of the Community Mental Health Act — a law that he refers to as “the beginning of the modern mental health policy for America” — Kennedy is launching a new initiative, The Kennedy Forum, aimed at improving mental health care policy.
“The point of The Kennedy Forum is to focus on good public policy at a time when we have tools thanks to the Affordable Care Act to actually implement better mental health policy,” Kennedy says.
