"Michael Angelakos Of The Band Passion Pit Launches Innovative Way To Fundraise For Mental Health" - Jordan Davidson
In a talk at Mount Sinai’s Friedman Brain Institute, Michael Angelakos of the band Passion Pit, who lives with bipolar disorder, explains how he plans to use his musical talents and newly launched company, The Wishart Group, to fundraise for mental health initiatives. “Feeling better means the science needs to be there,” said Angelakos. “People need to see how that works, and it starts with science… and it instantly yields a need to raise money for clinical, and then that instantly yields a need to raise money for advocacy groups.” To raise money for science, Angelakos is making his latest album a test case for The Wishart Group’s first initiative. “I believe in the protection of advocate and first and foremost those around people with mental health issues. We need to build systems that protect scientists, protect clinicians, and protect advocates,” added Angelakos.
