A Public Movement of Action for Mental Health
Our mission is to end the mental health crisis and give all Americans a fair shot at the pursuit of happiness.
Nonpartisan Civic Engagement, Action, and Accountability
The Good Life Movement (GLM) is taking on the mental health crisis by creating a public movement 100% dedicated to interests of the people — not trade groups, associations, or corporations.
We're like the people's watchdog and muscle for mental health. We bring awareness to what's happening then influence legislation with advocacy.

We've Never Built the Fire Department
The mental health crisis is like a house is on fire — and with mental health care the way it is, it's like we've never built the fire department. To put out the fires, we must act immediately to build a crisis system and a real care system that people can access affordably.
We've Never Asked: Why Is Everything on Fire?
We have a mental health crisis because we have created a society that fundamentally makes people sick. Fixing the care system and improving treatment is the essential first step, we must begin to look at the world outside of health care.
In the world outside of health care, it's clear we have gone wrong. We follow economic measures off a cliff while people are increasingly separated from the human essentials such as family, community, meaning, faith, and nature.
To end this crisis, we must revalue our humanity and create a world where everyone has a fair shot at the pursuit of happiness.

Despite unprecedented support, mental health remains one of the most institutionally under supported causes in society. Yet our leaders have not taken major action.
Where is the urgency?

We must organize into a group and make phone calls establishing mental health as a top priority. Only then will Congress act with urgency.
