What a CreepSeason 26, Episode 3Ronald Reagan “The Mental Health Systems Act 1980”The Mental Health Systems Act of 1980 was a significant legislation to improve mental health care in the United States. It was signed into law by President Jimmy Carter on October 7, 1980. The act was intended to restructure the federal approach to mental health services, emphasizing community-based care and providing grants to community mental health centers to improve their services.When Ronald Reagan assumed the presidency in January 1981, his administration's policies marked a drastic shift from those of his predecessor, Jimmy Carter, particularly in social services and mental health care.Trigger warning: Discussions of previous treatments for mental illness, suicide, sexual assault, and general assholery.
