Fireside Chat

Indiana, like the rest of the country, has a mental health epidemic that the COVID-19 pandemic only made worse. One in four Hoosiers suffer from some form of mental health disorder (nationally it is one in five). The need is huge and philanthropy is engaging more than ever in the fight for treatment and prevention. Join a fireside chat with Governor Eric Holcomb and Kalen Jackson, Indianapolis Colts vice chair and owner, as they talk about how the team and the Irsay family are dedicating their resources to attack the mental health disorder epidemic and efforts by the Indiana Roundtable on Mental Health.

During the chat, moderated by IPA CEO Claudia Cummings, Jackson will discuss her family's personal connection with mental health challenges and Colts’ Kicking the Stigma initiative, which includes a national awareness campaign and a fund to provide grants to nonprofits working in education, support, and advocacy of mental health. Jackson’s civic engagement will also be highlighted, including her participation in the Indiana Roundtable on Mental Health, which is co-chaired by former Eli Lilly CEO John Lechleiter and Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch.
