Human Rights, Inclusion and Engagement Commission Minutes <br /> September 19, 2018 —Draft Minutes <br /> Page 7 of 13 <br /> 271 Vice Chair Beltmann noted the statics are on Nami.org main page. <br /> 272 <br /> 273 Commissioner Eck wondered if there should be some language in the <br /> 274 proclamation about the acknowledgement of the mental health crisis society is <br /> 275 in right now in the Country. <br /> 276 <br /> 277 Commissioner Manke thought the proclamation should be more focused on <br /> 278 Roseville. <br /> 279 <br /> 280 Commissioner Peterson agreed and thought the Commission should keep the <br /> 281 proclamation focused on Roseville. <br /> 282 <br /> 283 Commissioner Hassan stated he was confused with the proclamation because <br /> 284 part of it is talking about Mental Illness and part is talking about Mental <br /> 285 Health. <br /> 286 <br /> 287 Vice Chair Beltmann thought the different wording in the proclamation was <br /> 288 distinguishing it, that Mental Health is broader with Mental Illness being more <br /> 289 specific and impacts somebody's mental health. <br /> 290 <br /> 291 Commissioner Hassan thought the two items could be combined into one <br /> 292 proclamation. <br /> 293 <br /> 294 Vice Chair Beltmann stated at the next meeting she would bring in a sample <br /> 295 of what the Mental Health Awareness Month proclamation looks like and the <br /> 296 Commission can compare the two to see how much the proclamations align <br /> 297 with each other. She felt it would be ok to leave the statistics in the <br /> 298 proclamation. <br /> 299 <br /> 300 Commissioner Eck thought by using the statistics it speaks also to how <br /> 301 pervasive it is. This would speak to the growth of identified mental health <br /> 302 illnesses and that this isn't just the way things have always been, but this is the <br /> 303 way things are now and is much different than in the past. <br /> 304 <br /> 305 Commissioner Bolinger thought the Commission might want to add in the <br /> 306 proclamation as well that it is a National statistic with verbiage. <br /> 307 <br /> 308 Vice Chair Beltmann was not sure how Nami.org was calculating the statistics <br /> 309 but she assumed it was National, but it is not clarified on the website. <br /> 310 <br /> 311 Commissioner Manke asked if it would help to add a year to the statistic. <br /> 312 <br /> 313 Vice Chair Beltmann was not sure because she did not find a year on the <br /> 314 website either. <br /> 315 <br />
