The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) applaud the Oct. 17 creation of the bipartisan Senate Mental Health Caucus in the U.S. Senate, a NAMI news release stated. Founded by Senators Alex Padilla (CA), Thom Tillis (NC), Joni Ernst (IA) and Tina Smith (MN), the caucus will work to find bipartisan, common‐sense solutions to address our nation's ongoing mental health crisis. “Mental health is the bipartisan issue of our time, and it is inspiring to see the establishment of the bipartisan Senate Mental Health Caucus,” said NAMI Chief Executive Officer Daniel H. Gillison Jr. “NAMI is grateful to Senators Padilla, Tillis, Ernst and Smith for their leadership on mental health. We're excited to collaborate with the new caucus to build better lives for all people affected by mental health conditions.”
