The Hill (2/13, Viebeck) “Healthwatch” blog reports, “The Obama administration is planning a national campaign to encourage the discussion of mental health issues in light of recent mass shootings.” HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced Tuesday that she and Education Secretary Arne Duncan “will lead the effort, which will begin within weeks.” She said, “There is no question that the recent tragedy in Newtown broke the hearts of the nation. But it also gives us an opportunity to address some important issues that have gone unaddressed for too long.”
