Explain the current mental health system.

President Kennedy enacted a major change to our health care state
by deinstitutionalizing those with mental illness. However, those with
mental health care issues must navigate a complex system of care. There
are a few effective models of integrated care (such as the ACT).
“Design” a system, intervention, or preventative endeavor that meets
the spirit of a community psychology system or program and better meets
the needs of our citizens with mental health problems. Submit a paper on
the designed health care system (or intervention or prevention
endeavor). In the paper, address which principles of Community
Psychology are incorporated into this program. More specifically, please
address the following points in your paper:
Explain the current mental health system (2 points)
Design and describe a better system that will address the needs of
those with mental health care concerns (make sure that I can understand
what you are proposing by being specific) (4 points)
Describe which Principle(s) of Community Psychology are represented
in your program or system, and specifically comment on how and why your
program meets the spirit of a CP program (4 points)
