Right now, 80% of Americans with a mental illness don’t get adequate
care for it. In this fascinating and hilarious talk, former professional
juggler & stand-up comedian Matt Vogl explains how he and his team
at the National Mental Health Innovation Center use virtual reality to
expand mental health access in maximum security prisons, hospice
centers, and children's hospitals. Matt Vogl is the Executive Director
and founder of the National Mental Health Innovation Center (NMHIC) at
the University of Colorado’s Anschutz Medical Campus, where he leads a
team to better treat and prevent mental illness. Previously, Matt was
the Deputy Director of the University of Colorado Depression Center. He
earned a BA from Marquette University and a Masters of Public Health
from the University of Minnesota. Matt was a standup comic for 12 years
and is a diehard St. Louis Cardinals baseball fan. He has two sons with
his amazing wife.
