Maximize Your Impact on Bipolar Disorder Research This December Through December 31, every contribution to the Heinz C. Prechter Bipolar Research Fund will be matched, dollar-for-dollar, by a generous $25,000 challenge grant from Patricia and Jerry Wagner. This unique opportunity means your support provides twice the resources for critical research, improved treatments, and expanded support for individuals and families affected by bipolar disorder. A longtime research participant shares the significance of this work: “I have been a part of the Prechter Longitudinal Study of Bipolar Disorder since 2006. At the beginning, it was a way to learn more about my recent diagnosis and to contribute to researchers and practitioners learning more about bipolar and how to help. Over the years, though, it has grown to mean that what I experience is real, observable, and explainable, and not just in my head.” With 10 active research studies — including the world’s longest-running longitudinal study of bipolar disorder — the Prechter Program is fueled primarily by philanthropic support. We invite you to participate in advancing research that can improve lives and outcomes. Make your gift by December 31 to help us meet the match and drive progress in mental health research. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gUWjn9SS

Advance Bipolar Disorder Research: Your Gift Will Be Doubled This Month The Heinz C. Prechter Bipolar Research Fund at Michigan Medicine continues to lead internationally in transformative bipolar disorder research. This December, every donation is matched dollar-for-dollar through a generous $25,000 matching gift from Patricia and Jerry Wagner, doubling the effect of every contribution. The Prechter Program manages 10 active research initiatives and depends almost entirely on philanthropy to fuel discoveries. Lauren Busuito, a Prechter Program research coordinator, highlights the impact your generosity has: “Mental health research is vitally important as it provides not only a way for us to learn more about bipolar disorder and how to treat it, but also a way for us to connect with participants interpersonally and support them during difficult times.” Imagine your gift fueling twice the progress in understanding, treating, and supporting those living with bipolar disorder and their families.
