MPC: Milwaukee's Philanthropic Community

On this episode of “MPC: Milwaukee’s Philanthropic Community”, we sit down with Dr. Heather Jones and Margaret Lidstone of Rogers Behavioral Health Foundation to learn how philanthropy is helping support mental health in our community.

They share how programs like canine-assisted therapy, the Firewatch initiative for first responders, and spiritual care are making a real difference for patients. Rogers is also calling on the community to help break the stigma around mental health and come together to create innovative solutions.
