Answer to Question 1

A
The NIMH document Action for Mental Health emphasized the need for better training for caregivers, early intensive treatment for those who were acutely ill, and improvements in education and research of mental illness. President John F. Kennedy appointed a cabinet-level committee to review the report and to make recommendations. By 1963, the concept of comprehensive community mental health centers was born.
