MATTINGLY AWARD FOR MENTAL HEALTH REPORTING - THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS JOURNALISTIC AWARD FOR MENTAL HEALTH COVERAGE IN AMERICA. THE AWARD RECOGNIZES EXEMPLARY JOURNALISM THAT ILLUMINATES AND ADVANCES THE UNDERSTANDING OF MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES AND TREATMENTS. IT CARRIES A $10,000 PRIZE FOR THE WINNER.WE WERE PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THAT THE 2023 CAROLYN C. MATTINGLY AWARD FOR MENTAL HEALTH REPORTING WAS AWARDED TO THE CREATORS OF "THERAPY GHOSTBUSTERS," AN NPR INVISIBILIA PODCAST ABOUT ONE THERAPIST'S EFFORT TO CONNECT WITH REFUGEE SURVIVORS OF THE CAMBODIAN GENOCIDE.STEPHANIE FOO AND HER TEAM OF NEENA PATHAK, LEE HALE, ARIANA LEE, PHOEBE WANG, YOWEI SHAW, AND NIC M. NEVES CONTRIBUTED TO THE PIECE, WHICH DESCRIBES THE HIGH RATES OF POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER IN THIS IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY IN SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA. NPF JUDGES CITED A "WELL-BUILT AND EVOCATIVE AUDIO DOCUMENTARY" THEY SAID BEAUTIFULLY TOLD THE STORY OF AN UNDERREPORTED POPULATION WITH "SEVERE, COMPLEX AND LARGELY MISUNDERSTOOD" MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES. JUDGES PRAISED THE PIECE FOR PROVIDING "HOPE THAT WITH A THOUGHTFUL, CULTURALLY COMPETENT APPROACH TO TREATMENT, PEOPLE WHO ARE REALLY STRUGGLING CAN GET BETTER."FOO, A SURVIVOR OF CHILD ABUSE AND ABANDONMENT AND AUTHOR OF WHAT MY BONES KNOW, EXPLAINS HOW REFUGEES CARRIED THEIR TRAUMA AND PASSED IT DOWN TO FUTURE GENERATIONS. JUDGES SAID FOO DISCUSSED THE PROBLEM IN SANTA CLARA COUNTY "WITH GREAT TEXTURE AND DEPTH," LISTENING SENSITIVELY TO TELL "THE STORIES OF HOPE AND RECOVERY."AS SHARED REGULARLY IN OUR UPDATES, WE HAVE A STRONG AND PRODUCTIVE ALLIANCE WITH THE JOHNS HOPKINS SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH. OUR COMMITMENT AND WORK TO BUILD THE JOHNS HOPKINS BLOOMBERG SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH/THE LUV U PROJECT CENTER FOR MENTAL HEALTH IN THE WORKPLACE CONTINUES AS THE COUNTRY'S FIRST ACADEMIC HOME FOR WORKPLACE MENTAL HEALTH RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.IN THE SPRING WE LAUNCHED OUR SECOND-YEAR CYCLE FOR THE CAROLYN C. MATTINGLY AWARD FOR MENTAL HEALTH IN THE WORKPLACE. THE IDEA WAS CONCEIVED AS A RESULT OF OUR 2016 SYMPOSIUM WITH THE JOHN HOPKINS BLOOMBERG SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH (JHBSPH), ENTITLED MENTAL HEALTH IN THE WORKPLACE: A PUBLIC HEALTH SUMMIT AND PUBLISHED IN 2018 IN THE JOURNAL OF OCCUPATIONAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL MEDICINE (JOEM).THE AWARD FOCUSES SPECIFICALLY ON ROBUST APPROACHES THAT SUPPORT EMPLOYEE MENTAL HEALTH. CRITERIA INCLUDE MENTAL HEALTH BENEFITS AND RESOURCES, WORKPLACE POLICIES AND PRACTICES, LEADERSHIP SUPPORT, AND EFFORTS TO CREATE A POSITIVE WORK ENVIRONMENT AND ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT IS OFFERED IN A GENERAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING PROGRAM. RECOGNIZING THAT WORKPLACE MENTAL HEALTH EFFORTS ARE MOST EFFECTIVE IN THE CONTEXT OF AN OVERARCHING CULTURE OF HEALTH AND COMPREHENSIVE EFFORTS THAT ENHANCE EMPLOYEE WELL-BEING, THE WORKPLACE AWARD IS BUILT ON THE FOUNDATION OF BROAD-BASED PSYCHOLOGICALLY HEALTHY WORKPLACE PRACTICES INCLUDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR EMPLOYEE INVOLVEMENT, HEALTH AND SAFETY EFFORTS, TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT, WORK-LIFE SUPPORT, REWARD AND RECOGNITION, AND STRATEGIC COMMUNICATION. ON JUNE 27-28, 2023, WE SERVED AS THE PRESENTING SPONSOR FOR A VITAL NEW INITIATIVE WITH OUR COLLEAGUES AT JOHNS HOPKINS BLOOMBERG SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH--- THE NATIONAL SUMMIT ON MENTAL HEALTH IN THE WORKPLACE, WITH EMPHASIS ON GRADUATE ACADEMIC ENVIRONMENTS. IN THE FALL OF 2021, JOHNS HOPKINS RECEIVED AN AWARD OF NEARLY $7 MILLION FROM THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH (NIOSH) TO ESTABLISH THE JOHNS HOPKINS POE (PSYCHOLOGICAL, ORGANIZATIONAL, ENVIRONMENTAL) TOTAL WORKER HEALTH CENTER IN MENTAL HEALTH. THE INSPIRATION FOR THE POE CENTER CAME FROM THE INITIAL FINANCIAL INVESTMENT OF AND COLLABORATION WITH THE LUV U PROJECT, WHEN WE CONVENED A ''MEETING OF THE MINDS'' AT A SYMPOSIUM ORGANIZED AT THE JOHNS HOPKINS BLOOMBERG SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH ON OCTOBER 20, 2016, ENTITLED, MENTAL HEALTH IN THE WORKPLACE: A PUBLIC HEALTH SUMMIT. DRAWING ON MAJOR GUIDANCE FROM THE POE CENTER AND WITH THE UNPARALLELED SUPPORT OF JHBSPH DEAN ELLEN MACKENZIE, THE TWO-DAY EVENT ASSEMBLED SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS FROM JOHNS HOPKINS AND OUTSIDE ENTITIES TO DISCUSS THE STATE-OF-THE-ART AND SCIENCE OF WORKPLACE MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING AS APPLIED AT INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION. BY INCLUDING THOUGHT LEADERS FROM BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE JHBSPH, INCLUDING ACADEMIC RESEARCHERS, HUMAN RESOURCE EXECUTIVES, POLICYMAKERS, SENIOR LEADERS, MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING PRACTITIONERS, GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, AND OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES, THE SUMMIT FOCUSED ON LEADERS AT ALL LEVELS WITHIN AN ORGANIZATION. THE AGENDA EXPLORED WHAT SHOULD BE EXPECTED FROM LEADERS OVERSEEING THE MENTAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF STAFF AND FACULTY AT INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION - WITH AN UNDERLYING QUESTION: WHAT IS WITHIN THE SCOPE OF RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THESE LEADERS VERSUS WHAT SHOULD BE LEFT TO OTHERS IN THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING FACULTY AND STAFF THEMSELVES. THIS WORK IS ONGOING, AND THE GOAL IS TO SUBMIT FINDINGS FOR PROFESSIONAL PUBLICATION IN 2024.THIS PAST FALL, AT OUR ANNUAL AN EVENING OF LUV, WE HONORED REMARKABLE PEOPLE ACROSS THE SPECTRUM OF MENTAL HEALTH. NOTABLY, WE PUBLICLY AWARDED AND SHARED THE STORIES OF SUCCESS OF 2023 CAROLYN C. MATTINGLY AWARD FOR MENTAL HEALTH IN THE WORKPLACE WINNERS BEFORE A PACKED ROOM OF LUV U PROJECT SUPPORTERS. ASSOCIATED BANK AND SONEPAR USA WERE RECOGNIZED WITH THE 2023 WORKPLACE AWARDS.

IN ADDITION TO ALL THE EXCITING WORK OUTLINED ABOVE, WE REMAIN FAITHFULLY COMMITTED TO OUR "ACTS OF KINDNESS" INITIATIVES. IN OCTOBER, WE SPONSORED AND PARTICIPATED IN THE 2023 WOMEN MOVING FORWARD CONFERENCE AT THE MARYLAND CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION FOR WOMEN. SINCE THE PROGRAM'S INCEPTION, THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF WOMEN'S JUDGES AND COUNTLESS OTHER DEDICATED VOLUNTEERS HAVE UNITED TO INTRODUCE CRITICAL RESOURCES AND OFFER THE GUIDANCE ESSENTIAL TO HELP EMPOWER WOMEN SCHEDULED FOR RELEASE BACK INTO SOCIETY. OUR PRISONS ARE MENTAL INSTITUTIONS, AND WE MUST ADDRESS THE CHALLENGES WITHIN. THIS YEAR WE EXTENDED OUR COMMITMENT TO STUDENT SCHOLARSHIPS AT MONTGOMERY COLLEGE (MC), BASED IN ROCKVILLE, MARYLAND. MC IS CONTINUOUSLY RANKED AS ONE OF THE NATION'S MOST HIGHLY REGARDED COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND SERVES A DIVERSE STUDENT POPULATION. THE LUV U PROJECT ANNUALLY FUNDS SCHOLARSHIPS TO CANDIDATES WHO MEET FINANCIAL NEED CRITERIA, HAVE AN ACTIVE GPA OF 2.5 OR HIGHER, AND HAVE AN ACTIVE INTEREST/INVOLVEMENT IN MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES - ALL VERIFIED BY INDEPENDENT COLLEGE OFFICIALS. THESE SCHOLARSHIPS ARE AWARDED IN MEMORY OF OUR GOOD FRIEND MITCHELL GREENBERG. WE REMAIN EXCITED AND EMPOWERED BY OUR ULEAD INITIATIVE. BUILDING ON OUR MISSION, ULEAD ENGAGES AND EMBRACES YOUNG PROFESSIONALS IN CONVERSATIONS ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH TO OPEN NEW CHANNELS OF OPPORTUNITY. MEMBERSHIP TO ULEAD IS FREE FOR YOUNG PROFESSIONALS, TYPICALLY UNDER 40, FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY, WHO CARE DEEPLY ABOUT BREAKING THE STIGMA SURROUNDING MENTAL HEALTH.

ULEAD ALSO CONTINUED ITS BLOG SERIES-- POWERFUL PIECES THAT HELP TO DESTIGMATIZE AND SHARE STORIES THAT IT IS OK TO TALK ABOUT OUR MENTAL FEELINGS, STRESS, ETC. YOU CAN READ THESE SUBMISSIONS, AND WE WELCOME YOUR OWN THOUGHTS ON OUR WEBSITE.

THE GOAL IS TO ATTRACT AND SELECT A GROUP OF 15-20 JOURNALISTS AS FELLOWS, REPRESENTING A RANGE OF JOURNALISTIC EXPERIENCE, WITH THE LIKELIHOOD TO PRODUCE STORIES ON THE SPECIFIC SUBJECT BEING TRAINED. WE HAVE LONG BEEN INTERESTED IN THE PUBLIC EDUCATION OF AMERICANS REGARDING THE SPECTRUM OF MENTAL HEALTH, BREAKING DOWN STIGMAS, AND PROVIDING RESOURCES, AMONG MANY OTHER CRITICAL TOPICS. 267561 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 7 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 MD X THE ORGANIZATION 2406147766 PO BOX 60248 POTOMAC MD 20859 X C RICHARD MATTINGLY PRESIDENT 40.00 X X 0 0 0 CHRISTIN M LEWIS SECRETARY 20.00 X X 0 0 0 ALEXANDER T LEWIS TREASURER 20.00 X X 0 0 0 GAYLE GREENBERG MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 ED NEMEROFF MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 JULIA ALPAIO MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 DREW MCCOY MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 606730 258833 36404 865563 8946 8946 153800 606730 422725 -268925 -268925 605584 0 0 -259979 X 156500 156500 2750 2750 102917 82333 10292 10292 3179 2059 437 683 8756 8756 21461 14265 7196 898 898 296461 267561 10729 18171 195172 458946 354909 346150 0 54108 550081 859204 0 0 X 550081 859204 550081 859204 550081 859204 309123 0 X 0 0 0 X 75918 82151 37103 281793 865563 1342528 75918 82151 37103 281793 865563 1342528 335357 1007171 2106 1345 899 612 8946 13908 1356436 0.74250 0.86700 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED AN EVENING OF LUV 157048 135048 22000 122 43393 18835 LEWIS BLACK INVITATIONAL (LBI) 603482 471682 131800 14211 218839 75000 52325 760530 606730 153800 14333 218839 118393 71160 422725 -268925 1 NATIONAL PRESS FOUNDATION 1211 CONNECTICUT AVENUE SUITE 310 NW WASHINGTON DC 20036 521069481 501(C)(3) 17000 0 GRANT CAROLYN AWARD FOR MENTAL HEALTH REPORTING JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY 3910 KESWICK ROAD SUITE N2100 BALTIMORE MD 21211 520595110 501(C)(3) 127500 0 GRANT FOR SUPPORT OF MENTAL HEALTH IN THE WORKPLACE AWARDS MONTGOMERY COLLEGE FOUNDATION 9221 CORPORATE BLVD ROCKVILLE MD 20850 521267008 501(C)(3) 10000 0 SCHOLARSHIPS GRANT, PER OUR ANNUAL COMMITMENT 3 0 PART I, LINE 2: THE LUV U PROJECT MAINTAINS DETAILED BACKUP FOR EACH OF OUR GRANTS AND PERSONALLY PARTICIPATES IN THE EXECUTION OF SUCH PROGRAMS.
