Extent:
6 box(es) (6 linear feet and 12 audiovisual items)
Scope and content:

Series I. Georgia Materials documents Long's work with mental health organizations and advocacy associations as well as her tenure with state regulatory and governmental groups in Georgia. Materials document her work with the Metropolitan Atlanta Mental Health Association (MAHMA) and the Mental Health Association of Georgia (MHAG), both smaller organizations under the umbrella of the National Mental Health Association. Concurrent to her involvement with these groups, Long also worked for the state of Georgia as a psychologist and in appointed positions on various mental health-related boards, commissions, and groups during the administrations of Governors Jimmy Carter (1971-1975) and George Busbee (1975-1983), which the records reflect. Of special note is Long's documentation of the dismissal of Dr. Gary Miller as state mental health director in 1974 and materials related to MHAG's reaction to the decision and fallout from this controversial firing.
