Indiana Mental Health Roundtable

We are honored to be featured in this Mindful Philanthropy report as a case example of multi-sectoral collaboration that drives impactful change in mental health awareness, system improvement, and improved access, quality, and affordability of care. You can read the case study about the Indiana Mental Health Roundtable on page 35.

Sagamore Institute is excited to welcome Jay Chaudhary to the team as Senior Fellow for Mental Health and Community Wellness. Chaudhary has served as director of the Indiana Division of Mental Health and Addiction for the last 5 years, where he has championed significant improvements in mental health and addiction services including the nationally recognized rollout of the 988 Crisis and Suicide Lifeline. “Sagamore is solutions oriented in its research and this new role - which will include figuring out how the public, private, academic and philanthropic sectors work together to promote thriving families, nurturing communities, and high-quality mental health care - is a natural extension of the Institute’s important work,” Chaudhary said. Thank you to the Valinhos Foundation (Julie Veldman Harris ) and Steve Simon for their support of this new position. Read the full press release here: https://loom.ly/HRjHakA
