Well Being Trust's policy strategy and agenda
focuses on improving mental health and
well-being—both today and tomorrow. As
an organization, this requires us to leverage
each arm of our portfolio (social, clinical,
community, and data and measurement)
to address areas specific to mental health
and substance misuse and the underlying
conditions that can lead to mental health
crises and substance misuse disorders. We
believe that, as a national foundation focused
on advancing the mental, social, spiritual
health of the nation, we have an opportunity
to make a positive impact through policy.
Well Being Trust funded the Bipartisan Policy
Center (BPC) to identify policy options to
improve the integration of mental health into
"Well Being Trust is the biggest
foundation focused on—like
its name—the well-being
of Americans. They have
just gotten started and their
primary focus is [mental health
and parity]. We are blessed to
have the Well Being Trust jump
into this space right now at
such a critical juncture for this
movement. And, I thank Tyler
and Ben and all those at Well
Being Trust…"

U.S. Representative (D-R.I.) and
