Open Mind Event "Profiles In Mental Health Courage" with The Honorable Patrick Kennedy in conversation with Jonathan Sherin, MD, PhD, former Director of the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health.

When Patrick Kennedy’s uncle, President John F. Kennedy, published his classic book Profiles in Courage, he hoped to inspire “political courage” by telling the stories of brave U.S. senators who changed America. In Profiles in Mental Health Courage, former Congressman Patrick Kennedy adapts President Kennedy’s theme to inspire the “mental health courage” it takes for those living with mental illness to seek and undergo treatment.
