NMHA Is Now MHA
One of the two main mental health advocacy groups has changed its name to Mental Health America from its old National Mental Health Association. Although they do recieve pharma money, they are much less likely to get on their knees for pharma companies than is NAMI, which also renamed itself not so long ago, going from the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill to the National Alliance on Mental Illness. Not that name changes are that big of a deal, but there ya' go.
For the record, MHA has been incredibly kind to me over the years, for which I thank them. NAMI National hasn't returned a phone call of mine in like two years.
