National Mental Health Association

Cast from shackles which bound them, this bell shall ring out hope for the mentally ill and victory over mental illness. You will find this inscription on the National Mental Health Association Bell. Yes, a real bell, cast from the chains and shackles that, sadly, kept mentally ill people bound in asylums in the days before mental health institutions practiced common sense and compassion. It serves impressive as a 300-pound symbol of the organization's commitment to improve the mental health of all Americans, especially the 54 million people with mental disorders. How? Through advocacy, education, research and service. As a result of their efforts, many Americans with mental disorders now enjoy fulfilling, productive lives in their communities.
