womenmind™ is a community of philanthropists and thought leaders tackling the unique gender issues that underrepresented people face when it comes to their mental health. Inspired and empowered by their support of the Center for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), members of the womenmind community connect with and learn from each other while driving change for women’s mental health and women in science. At CAMH, the definition of women includes cisgender, transgender, and non-binary people.
In its first five years, womenmind will raise funds to recruit new female scientists and provide them with early career support, hold research and seed grant competitions, offer mentoring programs for women in science and host an annual global research symposium. These initiatives are all oriented around
furthering women-centered research while promoting the careers of women in science.
Liisa Galea is the inaugural womenmind Treliving Family Chair in Women’s Mental Health, Senior Scientist at CAMH, and leads the Women’s Health Research Cluster.
