How Do Mental Health Challenges Impact Communities in Oregon?

Join Council member peers in Oregon for an informative learning forum with Dr. Gina Nikkel, President and CEO of the Foundation for Excellence in Mental Health Care. Gina will talk briefly about how mental health challenges impact many of your foundation projects such as homelessness, veterans' issues, and education. Excellence brings together philanthropists, leading mental health researchers, program directors, and thought leaders to understand and impact the effects of environmental factors, trauma, physical health, nutrition, and early childhood development on the mental health of every community.

Excellence is the only International Community Foundation focused solely on improving mental health outcomes. Its mission is to connect the passion of private philanthropy with the world's top researchers and programs. Excellence's unique Global Scientific Advisory Council, a diverse international group of researchers and clinicians, advises the board of directors while evaluating grants proposals and innovative ideas for scientific soundness.

Refreshments will be served and there will be time for discussion, sharing best practices, and networking.
