GROUP AT AKA MUTING
Approximately 100 pecple

c es, hosp tals, mental health
clinics, dcctcrs, ministers and

Mrs. Louella Honeycutt, Chmn.
cf the Yancey County Mental
Health Ass*n. introduced Dr. W.
M. Fulkes, Jr., Deputy Ccmmis
s cner for the Wester n Reg on
cf the State Dept, of Mental
Health.
Dr. Folkes stated that the rea
son fer the meeting was to find
ways and means by which a
community may cooperate in
the establ shment of a mental
health program, and the estab
lishment of a comprehensive
community mental health cen
ter. He stated that very often

first ask themselves what they
can do about the problem, make
a survey of the resources in the
community that people gener
ally were not aware of the as
sets in ther own community or
town.
Dr. Folkes then introduced Dr.
Hargrove, who pointed out the
great changes that have taken
place in the last fifty years, and
espec aHy in the last ten or IS
years in the treatment of re
tardation and mental illness. He
said that SO years ago mental
illness was thought of as a very
dreadful k'nd of sickness, the
only treatment being to put the
person away in an isolated
state hoq>ita!; that these in
st tutions were most often plac
ed out in the country away from
communty contact so far
away that the patient had few
vsits from family or friends;
that such institutions .were called
“Insane Asylums”, which car
red a very ugly connotation, and
became associated with isola
tion and. segreg'it on. Over the
years, though the state felt this
method did not work, they con
tinued to bu Id larger psychia
