Beginning of Foundation
The DRM Foundation was created in honor and memory of Drew R. Miller, son, brother, and friend to many.
Young Professionals’ Mental Health Challenges
#2
Suicide is the second leading cause of death among individuals aged 18-25.
33%
of young adults (ages 18-25) have suffered from a mental illness in the past year.
51%
of young professionals reported needing support for emotional or mental health challenges in the past year.
While suicide is a leading cause of death among young adults, there are few systems or resources in place to help foster mental health and wellness for incoming and current young professionals.
Our Mission
The DRM Foundation is on a mission to ensure young professionals entering high-stress industries are prepared for the mental health challenges ahead. Through our summits and partnerships with universities, we provide business school students with the education, resources, and support that have been missing for far too long. By facilitating open conversations and breaking the stigma surrounding mental health in professional service industries, we equip the next generation with the confidence, awareness, and tools to sustain their success and well-being throughout their careers.

The DRM Foundation’s It’s Time to Talk: Drew Miller Mental Health Summit is designed to discuss and educate on the importance of prioritizing mental health while navigating the pressures of school, careers, and life.
