Finding Hope in the Noise
Charles Ingoglia, MSW
President and CEO of the National Council for Behavioral Health
No matter where you turn, it’s hard to escape political news these days – who’s up, who’s down … who’s in, who’s out. It can feel like an exciting roller coaster, a drawn-out soap opera or, depending on your mood, a bit of a never-ending nightmare. In the midst of the noise, what should you […]

A Call to Action: We Must Strengthen America’s Mental Health Workforce
Linda Rosenberg
Former President and CEO, National Council for Behavioral Health
The following blog first ran on Kaiser Permanente’s Institute for Health Policy Blog. We are a nation in crisis. Drug overdoses claimed 72,000 lives in 2017. Suicide rates continue to climb. Life expectancy is on target to drop for a third straight year — something that hasn’t happened in this country since the Spanish flu […]

And Justice for All: What Works at the Interface of Mental Health and Criminal Justice
Linda Rosenberg
Former President and CEO, National Council for Behavioral Health
I wish I had a penny for every time I’ve said, “We know what to do; now we just have to do it.” Nowhere is this truer than in the treatment of people with mental illnesses and substance use disorders in the criminal justice system. “We have good science,” Fred Osher, M.D., told us. “We […]

Linda Rosenberg
Former President and CEO, National Council for Behavioral Health

There is bias in the marketplace: When whites and blacks were sent to bargain for a used car, blacks were offered initial prices roughly $700 higher, and they […]

President’s Day: Reflecting on Compassion and What is Right
Linda Rosenberg
Former President and CEO, National Council for Behavioral Health
I have to admit, President’s Day isn’t one of those holidays I think about a lot. Except for a three-day weekend and possibly good sales at Macy’s, President’s Day doesn’t hold a lot of meaning for me. But lately I have been thinking more about the presidency. About the impact our leaders have on our […]
