Former First Lady Rosalynn Smith Carter aimed to create what she called "a more caring society." But don't let what may seem like a soft-pedaling, idealistic philosophy fool you. The longtime spouse of former United States President Jimmy Carter, Mrs. Carter was a force to be reckoned with. Leading with compassion, she worked tirelessly, both during her husband's term in office (1977–1981) and in the decades that followed. Until her death in 2023 at the age of 96, Carter was a staunch champion for a wide range of humanitarian causes in the U.S. and abroad. Above all, she used her platform to illuminate the inadequacies of the country's mental healthcare system. Carter worked to spark awareness, improve services, and erase the stigma surrounding mental illness.Carter became aware of mental illness at a young age. This awareness later helped mold her life's work as an activist. Rosalynn and Jimmy Carter grew up in the same small town, and Jimmy had a cousin there who struggled with mental illness. Rosalynn Carter recalled feeling frightened by him. She wrote in her memoir, "He probably wanted nothing more than friendship and recognition, yet he was 'different,' and when I heard him, my impulse was to flee." According to CNN, Carter later reflected on her own reaction and became energized as an activist. She went on to dedicate a large part of her life's work to improving the treatment of people living with mental illnesses.As noted by NPR, the matter of mental illness was once considered taboo, but Carter did not shy away from the topic. In fact, during her husband's presidency, Mrs. Carter emerged as a leading advocate in the field. She took on the role of honorary chair of the President's Commission on Mental Health. The Carters' efforts also helped lead to the passage of the landmark Mental Health Systems Act of 1980. It called for a major overhaul of a federal policy designed to provide community-based mental health treatment. The act was later repealed. But some mental health advocates say it created a framework for future strides in the field.Following her husband's term in office, Mrs. Carter remained committed to facilitating positive change in the world around her. In 1982, the Carters established the Carter Center in Georgia. It aims to improve the quality of life for people in the U.S. and in developing nations. Mrs. Carter also founded a task force that continues to promote policy changes in the mental health field.Eve Byrd, the director of the Carter Center's mental health program, said that Carter worked hard to get people to talk about mental health. "What sets her apart is that she recognized the stigma, and really more so the discriminatory behaviors that come from that stigma," Byrd told NPR. In Carter's 1998 book, Helping Someone with Mental Illness: A Compassionate Guide for Family, Friends, and Caregivers, the former first lady wrote that people were reluctant to talk about their experiences with mental illness because they feared prejudice and rejection. Carter was persistent in her crusade to end the stigma that denies respect to people struggling with mental illness.Rosalynn Carter put humanity at the heart of her public service career and left behind an enduring message of hope. Dr. Rebecca Brendel, a past president of the American Psychiatric Association, told NPR, "Her legacy will always be that she stuck with it right until the end…and her legacy will live on with all of us."Think about and discuss these questions:
