I don't think I like this part one bit... NAMI’s Carolla openly admits that NAMI worked with the sponsors of the legislation, and one doesn’t have to look too hard to see the similarities between the Senate bill and NAMI’s proposed Omnibus Mental Illness Recovery Act, which Eli Lilly paid to print. NAMI fully supports the Senate bill, which features such programs and expenditures as Section 581 in which $75 million would be appropriated to fund an anti-stigma advertising campaign — which many argue is a promotion for the pharmaceutical industry and should not be funded with taxpayer dollars. In question also is why taxpayers should be burdened with funding an anti-stigma campaign which many believe was created by the mental-health community when it first began labeling individuals as defective. Section 582 would provide $50 million in training grants for teachers and emergency-services personnel to recognize (read: diagnose) symptoms of childhood and adolescent mental disorders. This would allow service personnel such as firefighters, police officers and teachers to make referrals for mental-health treatment — a difficult task given that each of these categories of personnel appears to have its hands full with jobs for which they already are trained. Section 583 would provide another $50 million for emergency mental-health centers within which mobile crisis-intervention teams would be established. This would allow for the designation of a central receiving point in the community for individuals who may be cited by, say, a firefighter, to be in need of emergency mental-health services. And this is just the beginning of the programs proposed under the Mental Health Early Intervention, Treatment, and Prevention Act, now pending in Congress.
