Abstract

The Carter Center celebrated former U.S. First Lady Rosalynn Carter's 95th birthday on Aug. 18 by marking key milestones, advocacy and historic achievements of her career and life. “Mrs. Carter's leadership, vision, and warmth have positively impacted millions of Americans, along with millions of people around the world,” Paige Alexander, CEO of The Carter Center, said in a news release. “She has been a pioneer in championing causes and policies and establishing resources to address them decades before they became mainstream. Her work to advance and destigmatize mental health has become increasingly relevant in the lives of people today.” For over 50 years, Mrs. Carter has been a relentless champion of people with mental illnesses and the freedom to live a life of dignity and self‐worth. She continues this crusade today through her work at The Carter Center, where she created the center's mental health program, established the Carter Center Mental Health Task Force, and founded the Rosalynn Carter Fellowships for Mental Health Journalism.
