A YEAR IN REVIEW
In 2024, The Menninger Clinic advanced its mission to make high-quality mental health care more accessible for those who need it most. With the support of generous philanthropic partners, we are shaping a future where mental health is treated with the urgency and dignity it deserves. As demand continues to grow, Menninger remains committed to meeting people
staff involved in summer camp and after school programs and we are partnering with Lamar High School to implement an initiative to help identify issues early on and ensure that students receive timely support. Research indicates that integrating mental health services within schools can improve safety, attendance, academic performance, and graduation rates. Launching an evidence-based Early Adolescent Mental Health Screening Initiative—a scalable program designed to identify emerging mental health needs in high school youth, promote early intervention, and reduce longterm suffering is a first step to address the rising youth mental health crisis by equipping schools to act early, effectively, and compassionately.
Supporting Patients
We are thrilled to introduce new mental health support options within our expanded care continuum. This includes the recently opened Center for Addiction Medicine and Recovery located on the second floor of the Outpatient Service Center. The center provides a range of services, including crisis stabilization and medication management, to address the increasing demand for effective treatment in substance use and behavioral addictions within our Bridge Residential Program.
Additionally, the center acts as a training facility for professionals and as a research hub.
We also launched a new Stabilization Program to assist adults in crisis in finding immediate support when they need it most. This program offers a safe and comfortable care environment with private rooms and on-site psychiatrists and nursing staff.
Our Adolescent Day Treatment Program provides effective therapies to young individuals in crisis while
enabling them to return home each evening. This family-centered approach helps to reduce disruptions while thoughtfully addressing significant challenges such as treatment-resistant depression and suicidal thoughts.
In 2024, we expanded our Menninger community integration program to serve two additional counties – Fort Bend and Montgomery – in addition to Harris County. The program is the only private team in Texas that provides community treatment for psychiatric needs, and it now offers complete support for new parents during and after pregnancy, helping expectant parents in their homes. Menninger 360 is also the first intensive program for perinatal mental health in Texas that has been vetted and approved for a listing by Postpartum Support International.
The Center for Brain Stimulation has implemented groundbreaking Rapid Targeted TMS therapy (RT TMS), which combines TMS with functional MRI (fMRI) technology, allowing us to target specific brain areas that need help. The treatment focuses on precise patient positioning and utilizes the latest neuroimaging techniques to target depression more effectively. RT TMS therapy consists of 10-minute TMS sessions every hour for 10 hours over five days, and patients can achieve
remission in just five days, with longlasting positive effects. Menninger researchers and clinicians are also working to expand their understanding of brain neurotransmitters and neural circuits to predict treatment responses better.
These accomplishments profoundly enhance the mental health of our community, thanks to the remarkable support from individuals like you. We look forward to seeing where our ongoing collaboration takes us in the years ahead.

CHARITABLE ASSISTANCE
Greater Access: Removing Financial Barriers
At The Menninger Clinic, we believe that access to world-class mental health care should never be limited by financial constraints. While the acceptance of private insurance has significantly broadened access to our services, reimbursement rates often fall short of covering the full cost of the intensive, evidence-based care we provide.
On average, insurance will cover only 1.5 to 2 weeks of treatment, while optimal clinical outcomes require 4 to 6 weeks of continuous care. This gap can leave patients, especially those most vulnerable, unable to complete their healing journey.
The Charitable Assistance Fund is critical to bridge this gap, ensuring that all patients, regardless of their financial situation, receive the comprehensive care they need for long-term recovery.
Since 2020, 318 patients have received charitable assistance totaling $9.4M
made possible in part by the generosity of our donors.
TRAINING & EDUCATION
Training with Heart
Menninger-trained professionals carry forward a legacy of compassionate, expert mental health care, making a meaningful difference in communities nationwide.
As mental health needs continue to rise across the country, the demand for skilled, compassionate professionals has never been greater. The Menninger Clinic is meeting this need by training the next generation of clinicians and equipping them with both technical expertise and a deep respect for the individuals they serve.
Last year, we trained 81 nationally respected residency, fellowship, internship, and post-doctoral trainees across:
General, child, and adolescent psychiatry
Addiction psychiatry
Clinical psychology
Clinical social work
Nursing
Counseling
Here, three recent trainees reflect on the impact of Menninger’s training programs on their professional development:
Jenna Jackson, LMSW, LCDC
Jenna completed Menninger’s one-year postgraduate fellowship in clinical social work and now serves as an associate clinician on Menninger’s Community Collaborations team. Transitioning from a prior career in the nonprofit sector, she says Menninger gave her the clinical foundation and confidence she lacked after graduate school.
“Menninger’s training program developed my clinical mind,” Jenna says. “I started out feeling like I knew nothing, and by the end, I was confident and prepared. The multidisciplinary approach was critical—I learned to value perspectives from psychiatry, nursing, and social work alike.”
In her current role, Jenna serves as a liaison to several youth-serving organizations, including DePelchin Children’s Center, the Greater Houston YMCA, and Houston ISD’s Lamar High School.
William Orme, PhD
After completing both an internship and fellowship in clinical psychology at Menninger, Dr. Orme now practices as a psychologist at Houston Methodist Hospital. He credits Menninger with instilling not only clinical rigor but also a value-based approach to care.
COMMUNITY INITIATIVES
Deeper Reach Through Collaborations & Expanded Services
The Gathering Place: Building Community and Empowering Recovery
The Gathering Place is a structured, therapeutic community offered at no charge for adults living with serious and persistent mental illness. Designed to foster personal growth and psychiatric rehabilitation, the program provides a supportive space where members can engage with staff and peers while pursuing individualized goals. We support recovery through connection to community resources, vocational and educational
opportunities, and by encouraging greater independence and psychosocial functioning.
The Gathering Place Launches New Peer Specialist Training
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, participation at The Gathering Place declined significantly. Recognizing the increased need for community and connection, staff launched a peer training specialist program to help members support one another while working toward certification as peer support specialists.
Fifteen members joined the inaugural class in 2024, led by support specialist and mentor Rob Pineda. The training quickly became more than a course—it sparked connection, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose.
“Each section of the curriculum sparked great conversation,” Pineda recalls. “Members were excited to share their stories and listen to others in a supportive environment.”
One of those members, Marcus J., joined to stay busy—but discovered a deeper calling in helping others. Drawing from his own experience with grief and mental health challenges, Marcus now encourages others with tools like journaling, faith, and therapy. He earned his certification, received an invitation from National Alliance on Mental Health (NAMI) Greater Houston to become a peer educator, and achieved personal milestones, including moving into his own apartment and enrolling in college courses.
Program manager Shalla Parker sees the training as a cornerstone of the clubhouse’s future. “The benefits are clear and significant. With continued funding, we hope to expand certification opportunities and make this program a lasting part of our offerings.”
Thanks to donor support, peer training is helping to rebuild membership at The Gathering Place and creating a vibrant, supportive community where healing is shared and hope is renewed.

Finding Purpose Through Peer Support: Marcus’ Story
At 46 years old, Marcus has faced more than his share of hardship. Diagnosed with Paranoid Schizophrenia and Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder, he also endured the heartbreaking loss of his entire immediate family—his father, brother, and mother—leaving him without traditional support. In the absence of family, Marcus found a new community at The Gathering Place and his church, both of which have
Marcus made a bold decision about a year ago: he wanted to live independently. With the help of The Gathering Place, he successfully transitioned into affordable housing, a huge milestone in his recovery, and continues to pursue his educational goals at
Marcus also took another courageous step: he earned his certification as a peer mentor. What began as a way to stay busy evolved into a calling. Now invited by NAMI Greater Houston to serve as a peer educator, Marcus uses his lived experiences—including trauma, bullying, and mental health challenges—to support others on their own recovery journeys. He shares tools that have helped him, like journaling, therapy, and his faith, always reinforcing that no one has to go through healing alone.
“I enjoy being a peer mentor because I get to give back to others who feel misunderstood—just like I did,”
His story is a testament to the power of peer support, the value of community, and the strength found in purpose. Marcus’s resilience and generosity embody everything The Gathering Place hopes to inspire in others: growth, healing, and the opportunity to lead meaningful lives.
Collaborating for Adolescent Mental Health: Beyond the Clinic Walls
The Menninger Clinic is committed to supporting youth mental health through strong partnerships and community-based initiatives.
We collaborate with local schools, the Greater Houston YMCA, and trusted community organizations to help young people navigate mental health challenges. In 2024 alone, Menninger trained more than 600 YMCA staff members serving in summer camp and after school programs, providing over 5,000 adolescents with informed, supportive care.
At Lamar High School in Houston ISD, we are implementing early identification and intervention strategies to connect students with timely mental health support. Research consistently shows that integrated school-based mental health programs improve safety, attendance, academic achievement, and graduation outcomes,
better equipping students with skills and tools for the future. Clinical staff will integrate validated mental health screenings, build capacity among school staff through professional development, and establish robust care coordination and referral pathways for students requiring follow-up support and/or experiencing struggles with mental health. Through a comprehensive approach, this initiative seeks to address the rising youth mental health crisis by equipping schools to act early, effectively, and compassionately.
We also partner with DePelchin Children’s Center to support youth transitioning out of foster care and into Supervised Independent Living (SIL). Menninger facilitates weekly peer support groups to build community and belonging, while also offering individual therapy to help residents

develop the coping skills essential for independent living.
Through these collaborations, Menninger extends its mission beyond the clinic walls—bringing trusted, compassionate mental health care directly into the communities that need it most.
“Early intervention in adolescent mental health isn’t just important—it’s critical. Addressing issues in youth lays the foundation for resilience, healing, and lifelong well-being. But true transformation requires a holistic approach—one that treats the entire family, because a young person cannot thrive in isolation. At The Menninger Clinic, we see success in this approach every day, as families heal together and adolescents are empowered to flourish.”- Armando Colombo, President & CEO, The Menninger Clinic
2024 ANNUAL SIGNATURE LUNCHEON
Celebrating Progress, Partnership, and the Power of Storytelling in Mental Health
Emmy Award-winning actor Joe Pantoliano delivered a powerful and deeply personal keynote at the Menninger Clinic’s Annual Signature Luncheon on May 9, moving an audience of 350 supporters with his candid reflections on living with mental illness. The event raised more than $280,000 to support adolescent mental health initiatives—an achievement made possible through
Held at the Hilton Houston Post Oak by the Galleria, the luncheon was chaired by Tejuana Edmond and Jennifer Hanson and honored the Greater Houston YMCA for its continued partnership in delivering mental health support to youth across the region.
During the program, Menninger President and CEO, Armando Colombo, addressed the evolving landscape of mental health care and outlined Menninger’s efforts to expand access, including the acceptance of several major insurance carriers.
In a compelling conversation with KPRC anchor, Andy Cerota, Pantoliano reflected on his journey with clinical
depression and addiction, despite a successful career and loving family. His decision to seek help and speak openly about his experience has become a message of hope for others, especially young people struggling in silence. “If your life is becoming unmanageable,” he shared, “you have to realize it’s not your fault, and help is there.”
The luncheon’s success is a testament to the power of philanthropy in advancing Menninger’s mission. We are profoundly grateful to our donors whose compassion and commitment make this work possible. Your support is transforming lives and shaping a healthier future for the next generation.
GROWING UP WITH MENNINGER
Kathy Adams Reflects on a Legacy of Philanthropy, Family, and Mental Health Advocacy
For Kathy Adams, Menninger wasn’t just a name, it was part of the fabric of her childhood. “I can’t remember a time when my father wasn’t flying to Topeka for board meetings,” she recalls. “To me, the word Topeka was synonymous with Menninger.”
Kathy’s father, Thomas B. Adams, was a highly respected Detroit businessman, philanthropist, and Chairman of the global advertising agency Marschalk Campbell-Ewald Worldwide. In 1973, he joined the Menninger Board of Trustees, later becoming a Life Trustee in 1996.
But it was one meeting that shaped his enduring relationship with Menninger—a chance conversation with the legendary Dr. Karl Menninger himself.
That encounter sparked a decades-long commitment to Menninger’s mission. Thomas was so inspired by Dr. Karl’s work that he established Charitable Remainder Trusts (CRTs) for each of his daughters—Janis, Julie, and Kathy which ensure that the family’s legacy of giving would live on.
The Seeds of Philanthropy, Now in Bloom
Today, the Adams Family trusts are transforming lives at The Menninger Clinic.
Through her sisters’ legacy, Kathy has seen the impact of their giving come to life:
• Julie’s trust helped fund the construction of Menninger’s new Center for Addiction Medicine, expanding access to care for those struggling with substance use disorders.
• Janis’ trust is supporting the purchase of a second Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) machine, which delivers non-invasive, rapid relief for individuals experiencing depression and suicidal ideation.
• Together, the fund is financing adolescent mental health outreach, to help support two social workers who serve at Lamar High School, the Greater Houston YMCA, and DePelchin Children’s Center.
“It’s incredible to see the work my father started still growing today,” says Kathy. “What he set in motion is helping people who really need it.”
A Family Rooted in Compassion
While her father inspired her philanthropic spirit, Kathy credits her mother with shaping her view on mental health care.
“My mom always believed every school should have a counselor that all students talked to regularly, just like seeing the nurse,” Kathy shares. “She hated the stigma that if you saw a counselor, something was ‘wrong’ with you.”
Kathy remembers seeing firsthand how mental illness affected her family’s social circle. “We were lucky in many ways, but some of my parents’ closest friends had children who really struggled. There was a lot of silence, and too many losses to suicide.”
She remembers one childhood friend in particular, a boy she grew up playing with, whose father called Thomas in desperation. “He asked my dad if he could get his son into Menninger,” Kathy says. “That moment stayed with me.”
Continuing the Legacy
Now living in California, Kathy honors her family’s legacy by continuing to support Menninger—while also rescuing horses, cats, and dogs on her ranch. She is a champion for mental health, addiction recovery, and the human-animal bond.
“There are a bazillion charities out there,” she says. “But because of my parents, I know how important Menninger’s work is. The research, the care, the compassion. It all matters.”
With gratitude and grace, Kathy continues to carry forward the Adams family commitment: making a difference in the lives of others, one life at a time.
RESEARCH & INNOVATIVE THERAPIES
Transforming Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Recovery with Psilocybin
Trauma touches nearly everyone—from survivors of violence, natural disasters, and war, to those impacted by systemic inequality or loss.
The burden is not just emotional; the U.S. spends $27 billion annually on PTSD-related care and disability benefits for veterans alone. Still, between 17 and 44 veterans die each day from suicide or overdose. Many more live silently with invisible wounds.
70% of individuals experience trauma during their lives with up to
86% of high-risk groups, such as veterans or survivors of violence and war, developing PTSD.
Traditional treatments like talk therapy or antidepressants can help, but often fall short. Only one in three patients responds well to the two medications currently approved for the treatment of PTSD. Many find it too emotionally taxing to revisit painful memories in therapy without the right support— which is why dropout rates can exceed 55%.
Since joining The Menninger Clinic as Research Director in November 2024, Lynnette Averill, PhD has made Menninger the home of one of the nation’s most exciting mental health trials—the first state-supported psilocybin-assisted therapy study in the
U.S. aimed at treating combat veterans with PTSD. Backed by Texas House Bill 1802, the study is already showing encouraging results, and Dr. Averill is hopeful it will soon expand to include civilians as well.
A Personal Mission
Dr. Averill’s work is more than academic. It’s deeply personal. Her father, a Vietnam veteran, died by suicide when she was just three years old. This early loss sparked her lifelong commitment to understanding trauma and, more importantly, helping others recover from it.
“I’ve always wanted to better understand the effects of stress and trauma, how to support those affected, and ultimately, how to save lives,” she shares.
That mission has taken her from research labs to statehouses, where she’s testified on behalf of psychedelicassisted therapy and helped shape legislation like HB1802. She is also a vocal advocate in the national suicide prevention movement, lending her expertise to initiatives in both Connecticut and Illinois.
“We need new tools—ones that work faster, with greater impact, and less emotional cost upfront,” says Dr. Averill.
The Promise of Psilocybin
Derived from certain species of mushroom, psilocybin is administered in capsule form during therapy. It has shown remarkable potential in recent studies for rapid relief of depression, anxiety, and PTSD symptoms, even after just one session.
We need new tools—ones that work faster, with greater impact, and less emotional cost upfront.”
— Lynette Averill , PhD
“Unlike traditional antidepressants, psilocybin can promote healthier perspectives and lasting change in just hours,” says Averill. “It helps quiet the brain’s default mode network—that critical inner voice—and create new connections, opening a window for healing.”
Research has shown that brain plasticity—the ability to rewire and adapt—can increase by more than 10% within 24 hours of psilocybin therapy.
Menninger’s Role in the Future of Treatment
Backed by funding from the State of Texas, Menninger launched the STARLIGHT Protocol.
The protocol includes several stages:
• Preparation sessions with therapists to build trust and set intentions
• A monitored dosing session in a specialized, supportive room
• Integration therapy, helping participants apply their experience to daily life
• Follow-up assessments at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months to measure outcomes
So far, the results are promising. Participants report better sleep, reduced feelings of shame, and greater hope, often within a day of treatment. Side effects have been minimal.
“Menninger is uniquely equipped to lead this work,” says Averill. “We have the clinical infrastructure, the research rigor, and the heart to support innovation at the highest level.”
At Menninger, our researchers are dedicated to discovering both the risk and protective factors that influence mental health and turning these insights into effective, evidencebased treatments. Our research teams collaborate with leading scientists nationwide in fields such as brain imaging, genetics, and microbiology to make this translational care possible for patients.
Philanthropic support plays a crucial role in funding early-stage, high-impact research, driving innovation and results to improve lives.
