Join Important March 10 Mental Illness Teleconference with Pete Earley

Dial (712) 775-7031 at 7PM EST on Thursday, March 10 and use Access Code 715149. Mental Illness Policy Org invites you to join our popular evening teleconference interview series. DJ's next special guest will be former Washington Post reporter, advocate and author Pete Earley. Pete will tell his personal story trying to get care for a loved one, and use his experience as a former reporter to explain how to get the media to do more and better stories about serious mental illness. He'll answer all your questions. Pete is the author of Crazy: A Father's Search Through America's Mental Health Madness which documents how the failed mental health system leads to incarceration, and the grotesque conditions faced by the incarcerated mentally ill.  Pete was the first, and so far only journalist to highlight how the Supreme Court's Olmstead decision, which is touted by some, could be unleashing a second wave of disastrous deinstitutionalization.  He testified to Congress on multiple occasions, runs a very popular blog, and recently gave one of the best speeches on serious mental illness ever.  He is one of the most important mental illness advocates on the scene today. We hope you'll join us for this important call. Bring all your questions. Share this with your friends and social networks. To join the call, dial (712) 775-7031 at 7PM eastern(!) standard time on Thursday, March 10 and use Access Code 715149. Thank you for all you do to improve care for people with the most serious mental illnesses.
