Missouri's collaboration opportunity

In response to the story "On college campuses, mental health emerges from the margins":It was nice to read about the progressive program designed to help people living with mental illness at the University of Missouri.

In my role as director of an international not-for-profit mental health recovery organization, I see many programs and services. Missouri certainly is a leader in making positive change.

Independence Center in St. Louis is known around the world for its many years of success and its very successful training program. There is no more cutting edge program addressing the issues of stigma. It seems to me that there is the opportunity for some collaboration between these two programs.
