From TEDx: The Addict Next Door by Aaron Lawlor

4 years ago TEDx
Share this:

“Aaron was a three-term local politician who made access to mental healthcare a priority for his constituency, but then faced his own addiction crisis. Aaron describes how we can identify, talk about, and treat the more than 1 in 5 U.S. adults living with a mental health issue. As a three-term Lake County board chairman, Aaron Lawlor has made improving access to mental healthcare a priority. He has referred to the country’s current mental health crisis as “the greatest moral imperative our leaders have the opportunity to answer and make a difference in” and has launched an innovative inter-agency commission to change how we identify, talk about, and treat the more than 1 in 5 U.S. adults living with a mental health issue.”



This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.
