Tim Benjamin, Editor I
would like to begin this month by thanking Tom Brick for his work on
summarizing the disability organizations position papers for the upcoming
legislative session. Tom will be helping us at Access Press with the
legislative reporting on the session along with all of our regulars
contributors. It's great to have Tom on board. Many of you know Tom
Brick, but for those of you who don't, he recently retired from the
State Council on Disabilities earlier this year and has been a long
time advocate in the disability community. . . |

Research For Mental Illness. Some of the things
we carry come from our close relationship with mental illness/brain
disorders. A lot of these things are intangibles, but they have tangible
weight. We carry the weight of the disease, of the diagnosis .
