Did you know mental illnesses are among the most common health conditions in the United States? More than 50% will be diagnosed with a mental illness or disorder at some point in their lifetime. 1 in 5 Americans will experience a mental illness in a given year. Let’s imagine together the impact we can make towards ending the stigma of mental health when we come together as ONE to fund research, increase access to care, support our community, and commit to action.
The Gala will take place on Saturday, May 14, 2022. The event will be held at a private location. This event will bring a broad demographic cross-section of our community together in honor of a great cause.
