Philanthropy news, patient stories, and more about inspiring members of the McLean community.
McLean concluded its largest and most comprehensive fundraising initiative on December 31, 2016, surpassing the $100M goal by $7M and ahead of schedule. From seeding new clinical programs to funding novel research, and from expanding infrastructure to attracting world-class leaders, the campaign’s impact is apparent across the hospital.
Dust off your bicycles and register for the next Ride for Mental Health on June 23-24, 2018.
Mac Dorris had a vision to create a charity bike ride for mental health, and within a short six months of intensive planning, Mac hosted The Ride for Mental Health—the first of what he hopes will be an annual event to help change how people think about mental illness. He had two immediate goals: to enlist 100 cyclists in the inaugural ride and to raise $100,000 for McLean. He met both!
“Without McLean, I’m not really sure where I’d be…or if I’d be.” – Abby
Teenage sisters Abby and Mary both struggled with anxiety, depression, and self-harming behaviors. Abby found herself unable to spend a full day at school, sleeping through the day or crying uncontrollably. She received treatment at McLean SouthEast in the Adolescent Acute Residential Treatment Program.
When younger sister Mary exhibited similar symptoms, their mother knew exactly where to turn. Today, the sisters support each other and are open about their experiences and their ongoing recovery. They credit McLean with teaching them skills to regain control of their lives.
To help reduce the stigma associated with a psychiatric diagnosis, the girls are also participants in McLean’s Deconstructing Stigma public awareness campaign.
Women’s mental health—a relatively new, but rapidly evolving domain of psychiatry—received a tremendous boost with the creation of the Kristine M. Trustey Endowed Chair in Psychiatry at McLean. Philanthropist and mental health advocate Kristine Trustey established the chair in recognition of the hospital’s Center of Excellence in Women’s Mental Health. Shelly F. Greenfield, MD, MPH, who is currently chief of the center and the hospital’s chief academic officer, will serve as the inaugural incumbent.
Endowed chair supports mental health needs of girls and women
