The Carter Center's Mental Health Program (MHP) frames its work in three core program areas: Global Health, Media, and Public Policy. The three core program areas work cross-programmatically within the MHP to capitalize on the expertise developed over three decades in stigma reduction and mental health policy.
The work of the program is guided by the Mental Health Task Force, which is chaired by former First Lady Rosalynn Carter. Mrs. Carter has been a driving force in the field of mental health throughout her career. Similar to other programs at The Carter Center, the Mental Health Program achieves its goals by networking and partnering with other organizations, including journalists, governments, and other nonprofits and nongovernmental organizations.
