Mental Health: A Report of the Surgeon General
This Report
of the Surgeon General on Mental Health is the product of
an invigorating collaboration between two federal agencies: The
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA),
which provides national leadership and funding to the states and
many professional and citizen organizations that are striving
to improve the availability, accessibility, and quality of mental
health services, was assigned lead responsibility for coordinating
the development of the report and The National Institutes of Health
(NIH), which supports and conducts research on mental illness
and mental health through its National Institute of Mental Health
(NIMH). This report recognizes the inextricably intertwined relationship
between our mental health and our physical health and well-being.
The report emphasizes that mental health and mental illnesses
are important concerns at all ages.
President's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health
President George W. Bush established the President’s
New Freedom Commission on Mental Health in 2002 as part of
his commitment to eliminate inequality for Americans with disabilities.
The Commission was directed to identify policies that could be
implemented by federal, state, and local governments to maximize
the utility of existing resources, improve coordination of treatments
and services, and promote successful community integration for
adults with a serious mental illness and children with a serious
emotional disturbance. The commission submitted the final report
in 2003. The final report to the President offers a vision of
hope and recovery for people with a serious mental illness and
their families.
