New Freedom Commission on Mental Health

Okay, so sometimes people have problems with their brain and feelings that make them really sad or scared or angry. That's called mental health. The New Freedom Commission on Mental Health was a group of grown-ups who wanted to help make it easier for people to get help for those problems.

They looked at lots of different things to figure out how to make things better. They talked to people who had problems with mental health and to people who worked to help them. They also looked at laws and rules and things that some people might not know about.

The New Freedom Commission came up with lots of ideas, like making sure there are more places for people to go when they need help. They also talked about how to make sure that people can get help without feeling embarrassed or like something is wrong with them.

They wanted to make sure everyone knows that having problems with mental health is okay and that it's just like having a problem with your arm or your leg - it's something that you can get help for, and it's nothing to be ashamed of.

The New Freedom Commission also wanted to make sure that people with problems with mental health can get the same kinds of help as people with problems with their body. They wanted to make it easier for people to get help when they need it and make sure that everyone knows they have the right to get help.

So, the New Freedom Commission on Mental Health was a group of grown-ups who wanted to help make it easier for people to get help when they're feeling sad or scared or angry. They looked at lots of things and came up with ideas to make things better for everyone.
