Cleveland Clinic & MQ Foundation Launch Youth Mental Health Research Initiative

The Cleveland Clinic announced the launch of the Mental Health Research Center of Excellence, in collaboration with the MQ Foundation and its partner organization MQ Mental Health Research, two global nonprofits dedicated to advancing research that detects, prevents, and treats mental illness.

Supported by a $1 million grant from the MQ Foundation, with additional funding from Cleveland Clinic, the five-year initiative will focus on prevention and early intervention in youth mental health conditions, including depression, suicidal behaviors, and mood disorders. The study will specifically explore the neurological basis of hopelessness and its connection to mental health risks among young . . .
