President, NMHA
The members of the NMHA Commission on the Prevention of Mental-Emotional Disabilities are deeply appreciative of the cooperation of the World Federation for Mental Health and the Canadian Mental Health Association and the expert consultation provided by their liaison representatives to the Commission. We are also grateful to the National Institute of Mental Health for providing expert liaison and other consultation to the Commission's efforts.
The Commission members thank the many participants who so generously and enthusiastically joined with us in this overview effort. The report draws heavily on the materials presented and the interchange of views. However, its contents reflect the views of the Commission and do not necessarily coincide with those of individual consultants.
Many others provided valuable information and guidance to the Commission, including: Sarah Brown, Institute of Medicine, National Academy of Sciences; Michael Fishman, M.D., Assistant Director for Children and Youth, NIMH; Kathryn Kramer, Ph.D., St. Louis University Medical Center; Delores Parron, Ph.D., Associate Director for Special Populations, NIMH; Richard Price, Ph.D., American Psychological Association Task Force on Promotion, Prevention, and Intervention Alternatives; Ruth Relos, Office of Prevention, North Carolina Division of Mental Health/Mental Retardation Services; Eleanor Szanton, Ph.D., National Center for Clinical Infant Programs; Pamela Moore, writing consultant.
The work of the Commission was supported by grants from the W. Howard Benson Charitable Foundation and the Mabel Pew Myrin Trust.
