#BenjaminRush said it best in 1800 after what was, at the time, considered the most divisive Presidential election in American history:

Thanks to Henry Platt for coming to Kelly Writers House today to talk about his mental health care experiences at Penn and since graduating, which he shared in our recent book PROFILES IN MENTAL HEALTH COURAGE. He was moving and inspiring!
