Move Research Forward Through A Mental Health Moonshot!
Isn’t It About Time To Treat Mental Health Seriously?
.
Act Now to support a “Mental Health Moonshot” advocating to increase funding for research into the biological causes of serious mental health conditions and suicide. Mental health research is far under-funded in comparison to research for conditions deemed as ‘physical’. Due to dedicated research, we now have effective treatments for heart disease, many cancers, and other conditions. However, we have left the one organ out that controls all of the other organs. This is the brain. Current research is pointing to potential biomarkers for serious mental disorders, but in order to continue, we need far more funding.
.
What we need is a Mental Health Moonshot, like we had for cancer over 50 years ago! Isn’t it way past time, especially considering 20-25% of our population suffers from some form of mental condition, and suicide is the second leading cause of death for 10-34 year-olds? We need effective treatments and cures. Please sign our petition! https://www.change.org/MoonshotforMentalHealth

We will send it on to key members of Congress in positions to make this change. If you feel more comfortable showing your support by letting our organization know directly, please go to our “How You Can Help” tab under the “Contact Us” page, and tell us you support the Mental Health Moonshot petition in the optional message box. Thank You!
