Research & Learning
Learning as we grow
Dandelion Thrive is helping develop a new approach in which mental-health care and supportive wellness services can work alongside one another.
As this model grows, the Foundation may seek grants, qualified research partners, and community collaborators to understand what helps, what needs to change, and how care can become more accessible.
What we hope to learn
We are interested in participant experiences; how different combinations of services feel and function; the role of choice, comfort, safety, and trust; how financial support affects access and continuity; barriers that make care harder to reach; and what clients, providers, and community partners teach us.
People come first
Any formal research will be developed with qualified partners and appropriate independent review. Participation will be voluntary and based on informed consent. Privacy will be protected, and research decisions will remain separate from decisions about financial assistance.
Financial support will never depend on agreeing to participate in research.
Research and grant partnerships
We welcome conversations with universities, clinicians, community organizations, grantmakers, and evaluators who value trauma-informed practice, dignity, practical accessibility, and responsible learning.
