“Mental illnesses are diseases like any other. They can be diagnosed and treated, and the majority of people who have them can lead fulfilling lives, working, going to school, and being productive members of their community.”

— Rosalynn Carter

“Each one of us can make a difference. It doesn’t take a former first lady or a former president of the United States to make a difference in our communities.”

— Rosalynn Carter

“For those who have been thrust into the role, caregiving can be an extremely lonely, stressful, and frustrating responsibility. We need to recognize and appreciate the contributions of our caregivers and give them all the support we can in their homes and communities.”
