Free Seminar on 1/30 6-8pm in UCLA.

"How Will the Mental Health System Change 

Under the Affordable Care Act?"

More than 40 million children and adults in the United States live with mental illness. The Affordable Care Act will require coverage for individuals with these illnesses and extend benefits to at least 10 million previously uninsured Americans suffering from mental disorders. How will the health system, which is already straining to provide adequate treatment, provide quality mental health services to this greatly expanded pool of patients? In this health forum we will discuss what is being done around the country and across California to adapt our mental health system.
