In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, Gillian Grable, MSW, from The Center for Human Development and Disability at the Ratston Institute, UGA, will discuss her book, Until We Meet Again: The Life of Jennie Raffield Williams, a historical fiction based on the true story of a woman who lived at the Central State Hospital in Milledgeville for over 50 years. Troubling and moving, it exposes the decades-long failure of the state, the public, and mental health professionals to provide appropriate care to Jennie and other patients with mental and intellectual disabilities.
