THISSEN & MENTAL HEALTH CAUCUS HONORED
ST. PAUL - The Minnesota Chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness of Minnesota (NAMI-MN) has named the Mental Health Legislative Caucus Legislator of the Year for 2005. State Representative Paul Thissen is a founding member of the bipartisan caucus.
"The formation of the Mental Health Legislative Caucus was truly groundbreaking," said Sue Aberholden, NAMI-MN's Executive Director. "The first in the country, it provides an opportunity for legislators to learn more about the many aspects of the mental health system."
"Awareness and understanding of mental illness is growing both inside and outside the Capitol. That’s a great development and I intend the caucus to be an important part of that process," Thissen said.
NAMI-MN lists its mission as championing justice, dignity, and respect for all people affected by mental illness.
