Humanizing Mental Health by JATA (Jeremy Alcorn and Trenton Akers)

Treat the person... not the illness.

You can only ever hit the target you are aiming at. Society’s mental health “target” has been mental illness. Unfortunately that target is getting bigger and bigger as more people experience mental illness. 

We believe it is time to change the target. It is time we humanize mental health. It is time we bring new understanding that a disease focus will only bring more disease.
