About the Tower Foundation:

The Peter and Elizabeth C. Tower Foundation was formed December 31, 1990. Initially the Trustees chose this Foundation's primary focus to support scientific research into the causes, cures, treatments, and prevention of severe mental illnesses, primarily the schizophrenias and the depressions, especially as they relate to younger persons.

The Foundation’s four key areas of interest are mental health, substance abuse, intellectual disabilities and learning disabilities. The Foundation’s highest priority is ensuring children, adolescents and young adults facing these obstacles achieve their full potential.

About the Focus Groups:

The Foundation board and staff have established a set of community goals related to mental health and children, youth, and young adults (to age 26) and are asking local community experts to review these goals and to help identify indicators to track progress on them. The Foundation is also seeking suggestions about possible strategies to address mental health issues in our community.

You will be asked to share your thoughts on mental health conditions and supports, and eliminating stigma related to mental illness.  Identifying future strategies will also be discussed.

The Tower Foundation needs your feedback!

Please help us to better understand mental health-related concerns in our community and shape future funding decision-making through your participation.

Limited seats available.

Call or email if you would like to participate.
