MinnPost: "Sen. Al Franken's remarks at Mental Health Education Project's 10th-year celebration"
Today, MinnPost released Sen. Franken's remarks from the Mental Health Education Project's 10th Anniversary Dinner, which was held in Bloomington last Saturday.
The Mental Health Education Project has been building bridges in our communities for ten years, strengthening mental health and substance abuse services in our state. And the Barbara Schneider Foundation, under Mark [Anderson]'s leadership, has been a pioneer in educating law enforcement about mental health so they can respond appropriately and avoid tragedies like Barbara's death. The work you do saves lives. You are the real champions here, and I'm proud to be a strong voice for you in Washington.
