High Noon Talk: Circuit Riders for Mental Health
Learn how mental health moved from out of the shadows and into the light.
High Noon Talks highlight interesting and often untold topics through a casual lunch-time lecture.
Join historian and author William Bush for a livestream discussion on Circuit Riders for Mental Health. The book explores the transformation of popular understandings of mental health, the reform of scandal-ridden hospitals and institutions, the emergence of community mental health services, and the extension of mental health services to minority populations around the state of Texas. Bush focuses especially on the years between 1940 and 1980 to demonstrate the dramatic, though sometimes halting and conflicted, progress made in Texas to provide mental health services to its people over the second half of the twentieth century.
