Culberson and Johnson Voice Support to End Psychiatric Illness Stigma
Congressman Culberson: “It’s an honor to support the work of the Schizophrenia and Related Disorders Alliance of America, and to be a part of ending the stigma that surrounds this disability. There is hope, treatment and a bright future for our neighbors and loved ones living with a psychosis disorder. I’m proud to join my colleague, Representative Eddie Bernice Johnson (TX-30) to raise my voice in support of everyone in this community – the patients, families and caregivers – so that people living with schizophrenia and related disorders will feel more supported and accepted throughout their treatment and recovery.” Congresswoman Johnson: “Schizophrenia and other psychiatric illnesses affect far too many Americans for the stigma around such ailments to exist. My experience as a nurse provided me a unique perspective and my work in Congress has attempted to address this. Much more needs to be done to give Americans living with neuro-psychiatric illnesses access to the health care treatments and support they need to lead positive, fulfilling lives. I am appreciative to my colleague, Congressman Culberson, and to SARDAA for their commitment to improving the lives of those battling these illnesses.” About SARDAA: Photos can be downloaded here.
