- Summary:
-
The results of a mental health and mental retardation educational program were reported for the period January 1969 to June 1970. The objectives were to foster and enhance public awareness, interest, and concern for mental health and mental retardation; to inform the population of the services available to meet immediate needs; to educate the population on those factors essential to improving their mental health status; and to stimulate community action necessary for combating mental illness and mental retardation at the local level. Subcommittees of the county Program Building Committees were organized to serve 33 of the 42 pilot counties in the program. The project findings indicated that programs conducted in these counties involved 4,635 persons through individual and group methods, that an estimated 150,200 persons have been reached through the mass media, and that approximately 25,688 bulletins related to mental health and mental retardation and drug abuse were distributed. It was noted that most program emphasis was directed toward creating awareness, interest, and understanding of mental health and mental retardation. (PS)
