Philanthropy
Over the years, I’ve identified a group of mental health and wellbeing organizations doing meaningful, systems-level work, not just treating symptoms, but addressing root causes of burnout, disconnection, and human strain. These organizations represent a range of approaches, from clinical care and trauma recovery to prevention, education, leadership resilience, and community-based support. When philanthropy is part of the conversation, I help leaders understand where their resources can create real impact, thoughtfully, responsibly, and aligned with their values.
