Key to our success is a clear focus on the Department's public education efforts, whether it be through our robust Changing Minds Campaign, vigilance in the fight against the debilitatingeffects of stigma or simply providingtimelyand rel- evant information to help the publi—c understan—d that mental illness is a disease, that it is treatable and that people can and do recover. Indeed, the Department's first goal for fiscal year 2002 is to direct the Department of Mental Health in a manner thatinstills the public's confidence. This new Mental Health Quarterly is one way we plan to accomplish this goa—l. Readers may remember this quarterly publication as The ChangingMinds Bulletin yes, the name has changed, but the purpose remains. The Quarterly is one vehi- cle we will use four times a year to communicate the Department's activities. It is intended to look at issues pertinent to mental health and how the Department is addressing them. The Quarterly's content will be designed to cover broad areas of interest not only within the Department, but also throughout the mental health community. As before, research news will be covered—in each issue and the Autumn edition brings a new regular feature to the Quarterly "Human Rights In Action," written by the Department's Human Rights Director Carol O'Loughlin and Children's Human Rights Coordinator Bernadette Drum. This inaugural issue as well as subsequent issues of the Mental Health Quarterlywill be wrapped around a theme, focusingon one aspect of mental ill- ness. This issue, the Autumn 2001 edition, targets health and wellness. Findings from the Department's 2001 Mortality Report resonated with the message that physical health should not be relegated to back burner among people with mental illness. The study, which found that people with mental illness were seven times more likely to die from heart attacks than the general population, is a compelling starting point for a discussion on wellness among our consumers.
