This lecture is supported by a gift from The Linda Schumann Civitello Fund at the University of Maine. The fund was established in 2022 by her brother, Frank Schumann, at the bequest of Linda\u2019s parents, Ingeborg Heide and Francis Schumann. The nearly $40,000 fund will support Dr. Jeffrey Hecker\u2019s research into improving access to evidence-based mental health services for people with serious mental health challenges in rural Maine and particularly Washington County. Linda suffered from multiple mental health conditions and, though she herself lived in Philadelphia, she became deeply attached to Maine through her parents\u2019 lives in Downeast Maine. It is her family\u2019s hope that this fund given in her memory improves the lives of those similarly affected.<\/p>\n
