Dr. Ginari G. Price has served as the medical director of Psycare, LLC, in Fayetteville, Georgia, since 2008. A psychiatrist with more than a decade of experience, Dr. Ginari G. Price holds membership with numerous professional organizations, including the American Association of Child and Adolescent Psychiatrists (AACAP).
Established as its current incarnation in 1988, AACAP strives “to promote the healthy development of children, adolescents, and families” and offers support and assistance to professionals in related fields. AACAP also organizes and supports advocacy initiatives.
Currently, there are three legislative advocacy campaigns underway, one of which is focused on comprehensive mental health reform. The senate bill S.2680, entitled the Mental Health Reform Act of 2016, is requesting numerous alterations to government processes, including the following changes to syntax:
- Renaming the Centers for Disease Control. The bill advocates for the new title, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
- Striking “substance abuse” from administrative terminology, and replacing it with “mental and/or substance use disorders.”
- Reordering the term “treatment and prevention” so that it reads “prevention and treatment.”
This bill is under the jurisdiction of the US Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, and was placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar in April 2016.
