Mental health groups promote Web site


Interest groups that want to make the state mental health system an issue in the governor's race have started a website, ncmentalhealthvote.org.

Sponsors — the N.C. Psychiatric Association, the Mental Health Association in North Carolina and the National Alliance on Mental Illness' North Carolina chapter — are passing out bumper stickers promoting the site, Lynn Bonner reports.

The site doesn't have much on it so far, but organizers envision sponsoring candidate forums and buying ads if they get enough support.
