Kevin Lynch is the CEO, President, and Founder of the Quell Foundation. He joins us on the podcast & openly discusses some of the struggles he and his family have experienced, shares how those experiences ignited a passion within him to see a change in conversations about mental health, and how that led to creating the Quell Foundation.
The Quell Foundation strives to reduce the number of suicides, overdoses and the incarceration of people with mental health illness. They work to accomplish this by encouraging people to share their stories, increasing access to mental health services, providing a pipeline of future mental health care professionals with scholarships, and training first responders to recognize mental health crisis warning signs amongst their own.
