Welcome to the CDC Mental Health Work Group Web site, which includes
basic public health information on mental health.
While CDC is not a mental health agency, staff members from across CDC whose work
relates to mental health established the mental health work group, and this
Web site, to support CDC's overall public health efforts. We hope you find
this Web site useful, and that you will feel free to share suggestions for
its further development.
