George Wiegers

In 2008, George Wiegers founded the CU Johnson Depression Center and the National Network of Depression Centers. After seeing his mother suffer with a poorly treated mental illness, Mr. Wiegers was determined to fight the harmful stigma that surrounds mental health and support quality evidenced-based care.

“Having such a personal experience with depression inspired me to do all I could to enhance mental health care. I hope the Depression Center continues to be a useful resource for the entire region.“
