Today LIBR had the honor of a visit from former U.S. Representative Patrick Kennedy, a long time champion and advocate for the mentally ill.
He took a tour of the LIBR facilities and engaged in a round table discussion with LIBR researchers about future directions in research, how to implement findings into clinical care and ways to expedite new treatments.
The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) was the signature achievement of Patrick Kennedy’s 16 years in Congress. Its passage in 2008 was the result of many years of perseverance to overcome institutionalized insurance discrimination against persons with mental illnesses and substance use disorders.
