Last week former U.S. House of Representative Patrick J. Kennedy, son of the late Senator Ted Kennedy, visited Denver Health's inpatient and outpatient behavioral health clinics including the Center for Addiction Medicine (CAM) and our new CAM Academy training facility. He spoke with department leaders and teams about how to better advocate for and fund mental health and substance use treatment initiatives. While in Congress, he was the lead author of the landmark Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (Federal Parity Law), which requires insurers to cover treatment for mental health and substance use disorders no more restrictively than treatment for illnesses of the body. His new book, “Profiles in Mental Health Courage,” offers an inside look at how ordinary people struggle with mental health and addiction. “The work that Denver Health is doing is extraordinary,” Kennedy said. “I’m so impressed by how comprehensive your services are and the systems-based approach you offer when it comes to behavioral health.” #DHSpotlight #MentalHealthAwareness #CAMAcademy #WordsMatter #SubstanceUseDisorder #TraumaResponsive #BehavioralHealth #AddictionMedicine #DHCommunity Public Health Institute at Denver Health The Kennedy Forum
