Annual Report on Giving

Welcome

Our Mission

To create a healthy world by excelling in the art and science of mental health care.

Dear friends,

Healthy minds are the backbone of strong and resilient communities. When we have good mental health, we not only survive — we thrive. We cope with life's disappointments and challenges, build positive relationships, and accomplish our goals. But today, far too many people are living with anxiety, depression, substance misuse, and other mental health struggles. And our communities are suffering.

Nearly 100 years ago, The Menninger Clinic was founded with the idea that purpose and connection with others are vital ingredients for mental health. As we approach The Clinic's centennial anniversary in 2025, this core principle continues to drive forward our mission and all that we do.

In 2023, our objective was clear — to reach more people in the community with Menninger's lifesaving expertise and resources. In the pages ahead, you will read how we strengthened our collaborations with other organizations, enhanced access to The Clinic's programs, advanced novel research to address society's most urgent mental health needs, and equipped up-and-coming mental health professionals with skills to make a difference at Menninger and beyond.

We remain eternally grateful for our donors and friends who share our vision of a healthier, more hopeful world and whose generosity ensures The Clinic's continued excellence. Thank you for all you made possible at Menninger in the past year.

Sincerely,

Armando E. Colombo

PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Year in Review

Our Impact Together in 2023

For the 33rd consecutive year, The Menninger Clinic ranked among the top 10 national psychiatry leaders in U.S. News & World Report's list of "Best Hospitals."

Patient Care

1,314

Adolescents and adults

We helped 1,314 adolescents and adults achieve better mental health, accepting 785 inpatient admissions and providing 10,317 outpatient visits.

More than 100 adults and adolescents in need received life-changing mental health treatment for free or reduced cost through our charity care program and Patient Assistance Fund.

Funded by donors' support of a $14 million capital campaign, the Outpatient Services Center celebrated its grand opening in late 2022 and has welcomed hundreds of individuals and families through its doors during the past year. A new Center for Addiction Medicine and Recovery opened on the second floor in February 2024.

We reduced stigma and increased awareness of mental health through 61 educational presentations to schools, businesses, civic groups, and other organizations.

Community

200

Members

The Gathering Place, our community clubhouse for people with persistent mental illness, provided free social, vocational, and life skills support to about 200 members.

In 2023, the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County (METRO) invited members of Menninger's psychosocial clubhouse, The Gathering Place, to join local government officials in commemorating METRO's 5,000th covered bus stop. Located just steps from the clubhouse, the stop will provide shelter to members as they wait for bus services.

Training & Research

Our clinical training programs continued building the pipeline of skilled mental health professionals, educating 219 up-and-coming psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, nurses, and others in the past year alone.

During the 2023 Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship, talented college students Poorvi Balaji, Jenna Lee, Katherine Matthews-Ederington, and Chris Zheng enjoyed eight weeks of hands-on, mental health research training at Menninger.

13

Scholarly Articles

13 scholarly articles were published by our researchers in top peer-reviewed journals, enhancing knowledge about suicide prevention, depression, opioid addiction, and other pressing topics in mental health.

Community

Working Together

for Change

YMCA Partnership Enhances Youth Intervention

According to a recent study by the Centers for Disease Control, the share of American teens who said they experienced persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness in the past year rose from 26 percent in 2009 to 44 percent in 2021.

To better support young minds, last summer The Menninger Clinic partnered with YMCA Camp Cullen, a beloved Houston summer camp, to provide campers and counselors with on-site access to mental health services. Through the generosity of donors, Menninger offered education and training for camp staff, as well as personalized therapy and group sessions for the entire camp community.

Through our partnership with YMCA Camp Cullen, we are promoting early access to mental health services for young campers. Photo courtesy of YMCA Camp Cullen.

"Having a true professional support system in action this past summer was incredible for our staff and campers."

Chance Orton

Summer Camp Director, Camp Cullen

YOUR IMPACT

Supporting Healthy Young Minds

In 2023, donors' support enabled scientific research to uncover potential drivers of youth suicide and ensured funding for educational activities and partnerships with local schools and community organizations, like the YMCA.

Community Initiatives Update

The Gathering Place Hosts Open House

The Menninger Clinic's psychosocial clubhouse, The Gathering Place, was excited to welcome the community through its doors in July 2023 for an open house event. The clubhouse, which offers free programs and services for people in recovery from mental illness, underwent extensive renovations while closed during the pandemic.

Menninger Clinic Partners with Nation's Largest Pediatric Hospital Gathering Place Hosts Open House

Menninger Partners with Nation's Largest Pediatric Hospital

In February 2023, Menninger and Texas Children's Hospital announced a new partnership to ensure access to care for children with critical mental health needs. From 2019-2022, Texas Children's Hospital saw an 800% increase in children arriving to its emergency room in crisis.

Patient Care

Meeting Patients

Where They Are

New Programs Offer Right Care at Right Time

Knowing where to turn for help and how to do so is often one of the hardest parts of grappling with a mental health issue. Today, a wide range of treatment options exists in the mental health care field, but navigating these options is not always easy or intuitive.

To make the process easier, The Menninger Clinic has expanded our clinical services, offering more programs in our "continuum of care" that are helping to meet patients' unique needs throughout their mental health journey.

Team members of the new Bridge residential program provide treatment and support to people who are stepping down from an inpatient program or stepping up from traditional outpatient services for more structure.

"These new initiatives are part of Menninger's ongoing effort to provide seamless and coordinated mental health care to people in our communities."

Armando E. Colombo

President and CEO

YOUR IMPACT

Providing Access To Care

In 2023, donors' support assisted low-income individuals and families with accessing Menninger's treatment through the Patient Assistance Fund. Each year, about 100 people receive treatment for free or reduced cost through Menninger's charity care program and generous donations to the Patient Assistance Fund.

Research

Making Recovery

More Restful

Clinical Trial Aims to Improve Sleep & Reduce Craving

Getting a good night's sleep is challenging for people in recovery from alcohol use disorder. This all-too-common struggle can derail recovery, affecting thinking, mood, and physical well-being.

With donors' support, Staff Psychiatrist Kelly Truong, MD, and a team of Menninger researchers conducted a double-blind clinical trial to investigate if combining the medications naltrexone and lemborexant can improve sleep, reduce cravings, and decrease the urge to turn to alcohol during vulnerable times.

Using virtual reality technology, Kelly Truong, MD, and her research team measure study participants' craving for alcohol during real-world scenarios.

"In our community, substance use disorders are widespread and challenging to address. It's crucial to approach them with the same intensity as any other psychiatric condition."

Kelly Truong, MD

Staff Psychiatrist

YOUR IMPACT

Generating Tomorrow's Breakthroughs

In 2023, donors' support generated new knowledge about mental health by funding the collection of crucial psychiatric data, advancing studies of pressing concerns like suicide and addiction, and ensuring the dissemination of key findings locally and across the nation.

Research Update

Artificial Intelligence Opens Frontier for Discovery

In 2023, researchers at The Menninger Clinic explored the promise of artificial intelligence (AI) to bridge gaps in mental health care and improve patients' clinical outcomes. Collaborating with top AI experts at Rice University's Ken Kennedy Institute, they investigated how this powerful tool could be used compassionately and ethically to benefit the well-being of our communities.

Research Publications

During 2023, Menninger researchers expanded knowledge of the mind and body through leading studies published in high-impact, peer-reviewed journals. Key areas of research included suicide, sleep, neuroscience and genetics, technology, and data science.

Training

Creating Pathways

to Nursing Excellence

New Nurses Gain Skills for Career Success

Providing high-quality training experiences for new mental health nurses is critical to ensuring the best care for patients and to addressing the expected shortfall of skilled psychiatric nurses by 2025. Nurses, as frontline caregivers, play a vital role in supporting patients' physical and mental wellness.

With the support of donors, The Clinic's psychiatric nurse residency program educates new nurses, like Meagan Haskett, RN, and offers rigorous hands-on training as well as coaching from experienced psychiatric nurse preceptors.

Recent nurse residents who are now Menninger staff nurses include (from left to right): Ekta Thakkar, RN; Eiriane Estella, RN; Shanika King, RN; Nneka Omoruyi, RN; and Meagan Haskett, RN.

"I don't think I would feel as competent as I do without the support I received as a nurse resident."

Meagan Haskett, RN

Staff Nurse

YOUR IMPACT

Empowering New Nurses

In 2023, donors' support allowed 16 nurse residents to receive specialized training in caring for people with complex mental illness. Through the psychiatric nurse residency program, we attract and retain skilled nurses in the mental health care field, ensuring ongoing psychiatric nursing excellence.

at the Annual Luncheon

NFL Star Ryan Leaf Shares Journey to Recovery

More than 350 sponsors and guests attended The Menninger Clinic's 13th Annual Signature Luncheon, featuring former pro football player Ryan Leaf, on May 4, 2023. The "journey to recovery" was the focus of the annual event, which raised over $375,000 toward a new Center for Addiction Medicine and Recovery at The Clinic.

The luncheon was chaired by The Menninger Clinic Foundation board members Poppi Massey and Susie Peake and honored local sober high school Archway Academy.

"I'm okay with who I am. I'm this flawed human being, like everybody else, who is trying to be better every day."
