Carlos Curbelo, Grace Napolitano Look to Help Mental Health Studies With Sales of New Stamp

October 1, 2015
"This is one more step toward reducing stigma, continuing to bring mental health issues out of the shadows," Napolitano said. "The Mental Health Awareness Semipostal Stamp will not only raise revenue to fund research of mental illness, but also raise critical awareness of an issue that affects one in four Americans. We are glad it will support major organizations' efforts, like the World Boxing Council—which has been funding brain research at UCLA—and we know this Stamp will make a difference. It will be a reminder of the need to recognize the importance of funding and providing mental health services to all. I am pleased to join Congressman Curbelo in building on the progress made toward mental health parity, ensuring the brain is treated just like every other part of the body."
