OUR GLOBAL PETITION: MENTAL HEALTH IS A GLOBAL URGENT ISSUE!
Mental Health Awareness is an urgent global issue. Mental Health is misunderstood and has endured inhumane treatments. Since the brain is the control center of the body, there is no health without mental health! "One Voice" 4 Mental Heath Awareness is a global advocacy group to ensure human rights for adults and children with mental health challenges. Each one deserving support, respect, and dignity without shame, stigma, or fear. Many refuse to seek treatment because they are rejected by family and friends. Many turn to self medicating with alcohol or drugs. Many people experience issues with work, school, social situations, discrimination, difficulty finding housing, and inadequate health insurance coverage for mental illnesses. Adults suffering from certain mental illnesses, if treated correctly as children, would not deal with self esteem issues. We should focus not only on adults, but children as well. Instead of receiving adequate support for mental challenges, children as young as 10 years old are being incarcerated. Once these children are in the system the laws work against the parents. Thus, breaking down the family unit all together.

Mental health issues affect us all on global magnitude. Everyone at one point in their life will experience mental health issues that will need treatment or support. This might include the stress of being a care giver, a divorcee, losing a loved one or losing your job. There is high rate of unemployment and homelessness among those with a diagnosis of mental illness or those caring for them. Brain Injuries or brain tumors can occur at any time in someone life and are often very unexpected. Diagnosis include Bipolar I or II, Schizophrenia, OCD, ADD/ ADHD, Autism, Anxiety/panic disorder,Phobias, Insomnia, Tourette's syndrome, Epilepsy ,Postpartum Depression, Eating disorders, Amnesia and Alzheimer’s. Depression can be a reoccurring condition that could lead to suicide. Those diagnosed with cancer or HIV/AIDS suffer from depression as well. Perhaps you have survived a natural disaster or trauma such as PTSD or "shell shock" in the military.

A benefit concert much like "LIVE AID" where Celebrities/Rock Artists raise funding for brain research and Treatment Center. We need supportive media coverage to stop the shame and stigma attached to all mental health challenges.This concert will be a GLOBALLY watched event. All issues will be addressed and SUPPORTED.The issues will be presented to each country and state's representatives to change important laws within their systems to assure all human rights for mental health issues.
