Scholarship Awarded --We awarded a $5000 scholarship to Maxwell Parrish of Woodstock North High School at Senior Awards last week. Max will be pursuing a degree in Neuroscience at Northwestern University. Max states: "In their neuroscience program, I will have kind mentors, fascinating research opportunities, and the equipment to explore questions of my own. I am particularly concerned by the affordability of mental healthcare, and will seek to answer some questions on the matter: How does financial wellness impact the effectiveness of therapy and medication? How has the cost of therapy and medication changed over the past twenty years?
Beyond college, I want to be the kind of man people feel comfortable confiding in. To hear someone’s story, to bring them hope, and to help them live their lives sounds like a beautiful way to make a living. So, I’m most interested in working as a psychiatrist, treating people through medication and therapy.
