Mental illness is unpleasant, frightening, confusing, threatening. The stigma of mental illness remains in our society as the greatest obstacle for all of us. Yet this is what we have set out to change. We must push research and encourage others to do the same. We must do a far better job of providing information on a current, regular basis. We must never assume that the fight against stigma is won. We know from history that if we dont do these things, no one will. These were some of the comments made by Mrs. James F. Schoenfeld, chairman of the Bell Ringer appeal scheduled for the first week in May. We will need a force of several hundred people in the Ogden area to push forward with these all encompassing goals. Reduced to specifics, we hope to reach all the homes in Roy in a door to door campaign distributing literature on the prevalence and complexities of mental illness and soliciting funds to help solve them. This can and must be done through research, through education and through prevention. But citizen interest must be mobilized into action for such goals to be achieved. for Funds are research - a great deal of which is being done at the University of Utah Medical nee! School. Funds are needed for educational programs education accounts for the greatest expenditure of the Association. And funds are needed for preventive programs. The Mental Health Association functions on national, state and local en- society the spectrum of illness daily, a corps of volunteers interested, knowledgeable and active is mrm levels. The original goals (since 1909 nationally), to improve toward attitudes the only hope of solving our nations number one health problem. The first phase of that goal is to enlist the support of every citizen in the Weber area. With the complexity of current larging mental f mental illness, to improve services for the mentally ill, and to work for the prevention of mental illness and the promotion of mental health are still basic to the association today. In addition to research, and MENTAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION education, the Association works for needed improvements thiough existing social and political channels. Some past achievements of the state association have been to initiate traveling clinics for rr VTXl'TT treatment, mervtaL establishing the first child guidance center, promoting special classes for the is emotionally snarincL, disturbed neritaUeaHh is like a verv best friend. heaLTh in schools, initiating, writing and lobbying through the Community Mental Health Services Act of 1963.

Although the Mental Health Association of Weber Basin has been in business less than a year, its contributions to the community are many. In addition to educational use MENTAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION rrr films and brochures, the Association can provide speakers to groups interested in learning more about mental health.
