Accelerate Mental Health Research

everyminute.org is a grassroots campaign advocating for an increase in public funding to defeat depression, bipolar and other mental health problems to prevent suicide and to improve quality of life.

Positions:
  1. Every minute a suicide is attempted by an individual with a mental health problem.
  2. Every minute mental health problems costs the economy over $600,000.
  3. More than 57 million adults and 1 out of 5 children suffer from a diagnosable mental illness in the States.
  4. Research funding is flat, failing to cover the pace of inflation.
  5. An acceleration in research will create better ways to prevent, diagnose and treat illness, paving the way for a cure.
