NORTH FALMOUTH, Mass., Feb. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The Quell Foundation is proud to announce that it received a grant from the AmerisourceBergen Foundation, an independent not-for-profit charitable giving organization focused on supporting health-related causes that enrich the global community. The funds will go toward screenings of The Quell Foundation's documentary, Lift the Mask - Portraits of Life with Mental Illness.

"This generous grant allows The Quell Foundation to continue normalizing the conversation around mental health and co-occurring substance use disorders which may accompany them, through national screenings of 'Lift the Mask Portraits of Life with Mental Illness," said The Foundation CEO Kevin M. Lynch.
