Thanks to a generous $100 million endowment from Providence St. Joseph, Well Being Trust (formerly the Institute for Mental Health and Wellness) is founded to advance the mental, social and spiritual health of the nation.

Well Being Trust invests more than $15.5 million in 36 initiatives and partnerships addressing clinical and community transformation, policy and advocacy, social engagement, and measurement and data systems.

By our second year, Well Being Trust had invested over $35 million in dozens of communities, organizations and partnerships. —In partnership with iHeartMedia, BuzzFeed, and Complex, we launched the #BeWell, #BeHeard, #BeThere campaign to activate youth. —Working across sectors, we developed a “living agenda for well-being in the nation,” encompassing policies and investments that can assure the vital conditions for intergenerational well-being. This work evolved into what is now the Well Being in the Nation (WIN) Network. —We worked closely with Providence to co-create and finance the Mental Health/Substance Use Disorder Clinical Performance Group (CPG), a learning collaborative dedicated to improving care and delivery.
