The Quell Foundation Receives Grant from the AmerisourceBergen Foundation for Lift the Mask Documentary

The Quell Foundation is proud to announce that it received a grant from the AmerisourceBergen Foundation, an independent not-for-profit charitable giving organization focused on supporting health-related causes that enrich the global community. The funds will go toward screenings of The Quell Foundation’s documentary, Lift the Mask – Portraits of Life with Mental Illness.

“This generous grant allows The Quell Foundation to continue normalizing the conversation around mental health and co-occurring substance use disorders which may accompany them, through national screenings of ‘Lift the Mask Portraits of Life with Mental Illness,” said The Foundation CEO Kevin M. Lynch. “The stigma experienced by millions of Americans living with a mental health challenge and the directly correlating misuse of opioids is a barrier to treatment we must work tirelessly to overcome. Lives are depending on it.”

The Opioid Resource Grant Program builds off of continuous and ongoing efforts through the AmerisourceBergen Foundation to support and advance ideas from innovative non-profit, grant-funded organizations, in an attempt to redefine best practices across the country in the fight against the opioid epidemic.
