Your gift today — of any size — helps the Center for Healthy Minds (CHM) investigate how to strengthen the ability of individuals and communities throughout the world to flourish.
At CHM, we’re committed to innovative, interdisciplinary, and collaborative scientific research to better understand the nature of well-being and how we can work to improve it.
We are honored to serve the Wisconsin Idea through community, national, and global impact, as well as institutional excellence. A center like this can only exist at UW–Madison!
How your gifts make an impact
With help from UW alumni and supporters like you, we can continue to cultivate well-being and relieve suffering through a scientific understanding of the mind, working toward a vision of a kinder, wiser, more compassionate world.
Why we need your support
We are facing many urgent well-being crises around the world. Your gift supports the exploration of innovative ideas to uncover insights that could lead to greater global well-being including:
- How to move away from a “one-size-fits-all” approach to create engaging meditation programs that truly support individuals in the way they need it most.
- Learning what type and timing of smartphone use can be indicators of risk of suicide, to identify risk before it escalates.
- How mindfulness-based programs could promote recovery and flourishing for survivors of conflict, collective trauma, and forced displacement.
