You've been a great friend to me. I value what you bring to my life. We don't always agree, but I like how you think about things. There are many ideas and experiences we share that enrich my life a lot.
I need your help with something that is important to me. I'm concerned about the direction we are going in public mental health. I don't like the way we are silo-ing human beings into the categories of 'mentally well' and 'mentally defective.' I fear we may be creating the very problems - and possibly the violence - that all of us long to prevent.
This weekend I am participating in a campaign to call attention to these concerns. There is an article link below that I hope you will take time to check out. It explains what this action is about and why. I realize that it may challenge many of your assumptions and beliefs about these issues. I don't expect you to participate in the action. I don't even expect you to agree with me. I am just asking you to listen. Then maybe some day, if you would like, we could talk about these things more.
With deep regard,
Your Friend Always
