Forbes Nonprofit Council Article
Our CEO, Mark Cloutier, is an official member of the Forbes Nonprofit Council. His latest thought-leadership article recently published, "Why We Cannot Afford to Leave Mental Health Conditions Untreated."
In the article, Cloutier states: “Investing in treating mental health illnesses will not only stimulate our economy; it will save taxpayers money in the long run. There is a major misconception that there is enough money and resources already being invested in this need, but the reality is that the gaps are costing Americans significantly more and continuing to put our country in a serious financial situation. We need to consider the trickle effect of an individual’s life progression in our society through their education, job, housing, consumption of economic goods and tax-paying capacities.“
We invite you to read the entire article here.
