Dedicated to changing the way mental health is understood, diagnosed, and treated, Soar is the 501(c)(3) non-profit mental health initiative of M2G Ventures, a dynamic real estate investment firm based in Fort Worth, Texas. Created after personal heartbreak was channeled into action, Soar is aligned behind the initiative pillars of research, advocacy, and community, and is built upon a foundational commitment to financial stewardship. Through collaborative partnerships with leading innovators in mental healthcare, and art-centered events such as Art of the Mind and Muse at the Modern, Soar has elevated awareness of the vital need for better mental health outcomes, activated the community to generate momentum toward change, and raised over $2 million in pursuit of new pathways to healing and wholeness for those impacted by mental illness.

The Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute (Meadows Institute) is an independent, nonpartisan organization working to advance equitable, systemic improvements in mental health care across Texas, the nation, and beyond — including in the critical area of trauma and grief.

Through its Trauma and Grief (TAG) Center, the Meadows Institute provides expertise in trauma and grief informed care to youth-serving organizations across the country. The overarching purpose of the TAG Center is to raise the standard of care and increase access to best practice mental health services among youth who have experienced trauma and bereavement. The TAG Center has four primary aims: (1) develop and disseminate evidence-based assessments and interventions for youth who have experienced trauma and/or loss; (2) conduct research on adaptive and maladaptive responses to trauma and loss, as well as treatment effectiveness; (3) provide training and professional education in trauma- and grief-focused topics, including best practice risk screening, assessment, and intervention; and (4) provide best practice and policy guidance for decision-makers regarding the trauma- and grief-related mental health needs of our nation’s most vulnerable youth.
