The Arizona Tragedy and Mental Health Care
Statement by Michael J. Fitzpatrick, Executive Director, NAMI
We share the sadness of other Americans over the Tucson, Arizona tragedy and extend our sympathy to the families of the six individuals who died. We pray for the recovery of U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords and the 13 other persons who were wounded.
Representative Giffords is a NAMI friend who has served as co-chair of the NAMIWalk in Southeast Arizona and has supported our missions of education, support and advocacy.
When tragedies involving mental illness occur, it is essential to understand the nature of mental illness -- and to find out what went wrong.
