M2G strategically partnered with local artists to produce exceptional artwork with a personal touch rooted in changing the way we talk about mental health.
We believe art can speak for us when words are not adequate. Each artist created a unique work of art that is reflective of their interpretation of the mental health journey. The program culminates in an evening of discussion, hope and inspiration where the art is auctioned off with all proceeds benefiting the mission and work of UT Southwestern’s Center for Depression Research and Clinical Care. The M2G Ventures Mental Health Initiative Donor Soiree is the intersection of art and science.
The vision is a future free from the burden of depression
Invest in the Future of Mental Health
Goal
Raise $1 million to fund the physical Center for Depression Research and Clinical Care (CDRC) in Tarrant County. At the CDRC, the vision is a future free from the burden of depression.
Where we are today
The work Dr. Trivedi and his team of researchers are doing is changing the ways mental illness is diagnosed and treated, now and in the future. As evidenced by the findings from our first year, we can see the impact the CDRC is making in our community. If you missed our Annual Report, you can find it linked here. So far we have raised $300,000 that has allowed us to establish the Fort Worth-based CDRC clinical site at the Moncrief Cancer Institute and expand the implementation of the Texas Resilience Against Depression (T-RAD) study, which aims to identify biomarkers of depression and resilience. To date, the CDRC has enrolled 80 T-RAD research participants through its Fort Worth site. Now that many COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted, in-person visits have largely resumed and the research team continues to recruit new participants.
Looking Ahead
We are striving to raise the remaining $700,000 by 2023 to fulfill our pledge to fund the Center for Depression Research and Clinical Care in Tarrant County and the T-RAD study. The isolation and challenges that COVID-19 has brought on all of us and certainly those who were already dealing with depression and mental illness further solidifies the need for the work that the CDRC is doing. We are steadfastly dedicated to supporting the CDRC and Dr. Trivedi’s ground-breaking research in Tarrant County and beyond.
