Katz Amsterdam Foundation

During 2025, the foundation continued its work to bring mountain resort communities together for shared learning around common challenges in building effective mental and behavioral health systems that serve the needs of community members. The foundation expanded the network this year, which now includes 11 mountain resort communities in the Western United States. A special focus of the multi-community network this year was shared learning about peer support programs and meeting the needs of underserved populations. The foundation hosted our annual convening of over 80 behavioral health professionals from 11 different mountain communities in may, during which we shared impactful programs from different communities, learned about influential storytelling and continued to promote connection and shared experiences. We also hosted our second fall forum, a virtual meeting of all 11 communities to check in about programming and hear updates about recent mental and behavioral health trends. K
