"The tragedy raises sharp issues about the nation’s fragmented mental healthcare system, which NAMI has raised for years. Some of them are now being debated in the news media and legislatures, including Congress. They range from stigma, privacy rights, court-ordered treatment, gun control, mental health and suicide prevention screening programs, and mental health services on college campuses.
The purpose of this Web site page is not to engage in debate at this time, but to provide information and resources to people who are still seeking to understand and cope with tragedy—and to direct them where they can express support to the Virginia Tech community."

Thank you; I passed this on to our University administrators, who are reviewing our policies and practices in the light of the VT shootings.
