The National Research Council and the Institute of Medicine have called for making the healthy mental, emotional, and behavioral development of young people a national priority. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) in the US Department of Health and Human Services is uniquely positioned to help develop national mental health policies that promote mental health and prevent mental illnesses. In this article I describe the role of mental health in overall health, I make the case for a public health approach to mental health promotion and mental illness prevention, and I outline a strategy to promote individual, family, and community resilience. I also describe how SAMHSA works to achieve these goals. Ultimately, true health reform will not succeed without a comprehensive, committed focus on the mental health needs of all Americans.
国家研究理事会和医学研究所呼吁将年轻人的健康心理、情感和行为发展作为国家的优先事项。美国卫生与公众服务部下属的物质滥用和精神健康服务管理局（SAMHSA）在制定促进精神健康和预防精神疾病的国家精神卫生政策方面具有独特的地位。在本文中，我描述了精神健康在整体健康中的作用，我提出了一种公共卫生方法来促进精神健康和预防精神疾病，并概述了一项促进个人、家庭和社区适应力的战略。我还描述了 SAMHSA 如何努力实现这些目标。如果不全面、坚定地关注所有美国人的精神健康需求，真正的医疗改革将无法成功。
