Sagamore Institute is excited to welcome Jay Chaudhary to the team as Senior Fellow for Mental Health and Community Wellness. Chaudhary has served as director of the Indiana Division of Mental Health and Addiction for the last 5 years, where he has championed significant improvements in mental health and addiction services including the nationally recognized rollout of the 988 Crisis and Su***de Lifeline.

“Sagamore is solutions oriented in its research and this new role - which will include figuring out how the public, private, academic and philanthropic sectors work together to promote thriving families, nurturing communities, and high-quality mental health care - is a natural extension of the Institute’s important work,” Chaudhary said.
Thank you to the Valinhos Foundation (Julie Veldman Harris) and Steve Simon for their support of this new position.
