OUR PROJECTS
Four Projects. One Mission.
Through a partnership with a northern Illinois hospital group, we identified four key projects that give us the resources and connections to CARE, CONNECT, and CURE. Some are already underway. Others are being built step by step.
WHERE THINGS STAND
From Today to Tomorrow
Each project moves at its own pace. The Symposium already brings experts together every year, the Pilot CARE Program is in development, and our housing community and research facility are long-term visions we are working toward.
ONGOING SINCE 2024
Symposium on Schizophrenia
Since 2024, our annual Symposium on Schizophrenia has brought researchers, clinicians, advocates, and families into the same room to share what they know.
​
Speakers have included former NIMH director Dr. Thomas Insel, researchers from the Lieber Institute and the University of Chicago, and former U.S. Congressman Patrick Kennedy.
​
Every talk is recorded, so anyone can watch, learn, and join the conversation.
IN DEVELOPMENT
Pilot CARE Program
We are working closely with our partner hospital to find where the biggest gaps in care exist, and how to close them.
​
That can mean more complete testing, so treatment plans fit each person, and a dedicated team that builds an individual follow-up plan.
​
The goal is a program that can be repeated anywhere people with schizophrenia need better care.
FUTURE VISION
Supportive Housing Community
Many people living with schizophrenia need more than a place to live. They need a village around them.
​
We envision a housing community with care built in: medical support, medication management, transportation, job opportunities, and green space to grow.
​
Residents could live independently, with support always within reach.
