Reform Gun Laws and Celebrities Suited to Reduce Mental Health Stigmas, Mental Health Professionals Say

Following tragedies like Superstorm Sandy, Newtown, and Aurora, mental health professionals have weighed in on a vital national debate—what are the best ways to prevent and cope with deadly community disasters.

The survey conducted by Wakefield Research for 91³Ô¹ÏÍø’s Center for Health Innovation asked 100 mental health professionals across the country about what is really needed to prevent gun violence, avoid mental health stigmas and help communities prepare for the worst.

Dr. Jonathan Jackson, director of the Center for Psychological Services and director of clinical training at the Adelphi Derner Institute revealed the results today of the new 91³Ô¹ÏÍø Center for Health Innovation (CHI) Poll, rich with new statistics and figures.

Dr. Jackson was interviewed by 23 radio stations, including national interviews with the Wall Street Journal, USA Radio Network and American Urban Radio Networks, as well as key stations in CA, CT, DC, NJ, NY, MI, OH and MA.
