There’s a severe stigma associated with mental health illness that prevents those closest to us from getting the help they need. The Quell Foundation has students attending over 460 colleges and universities across all 50 states. Together we can shatter the stigma and normalize the conversation around mental health.

Population Health Initiative

With a substantial gift to the department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the University of Washington School of Medicine, The Foundation is funding the expansion of training in collaborative care and telehealth through the development of a population health curriculum focused on the BIPOC community.

Equine-Assisted Therapy

Unlike humans, horses don’t edit or filter their communication. They don’t deceive or manipulate. They respond with honesty and directness. And this, surprisingly, is enough. Started in 2018 in partnership with Nova Southeastern University College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences, The Quell Foundation sponsors a program testing the effectiveness of equine therapy at “Stable Places” with fascinating and impressive results.

Art for Healing

Whether through painting, sculpture, music or dance, art is a proven tool for improving psychological well-being. The partnership between the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod and The Quell Foundation makes funds available for seniors who have been accepted into a college, university, or trade school to pursue a degree in an arts-related field. Recipients will also have a mental health condition or have lost a family member to suicide.
