GOOD VIBRATIONS
Beach Boys co-founder Brian Wilson performs at the 12th Annual
Staglin Family Music Festival for Mental Health in September in Rutherford,
Calif. The daylong festival, held on the grounds of the Napa Valley winery
owned by Garen and Shari Staglin, raised $3.8 million for research on
serious mental illness.

The Staglins created the festival a few years after their son was diagnosed
with schizophrenia. The family has helped raise a total of about $30 million
to date.
Each year the festival includes a scientific symposium open to the public
free of charge. This year's speaker was Daniel Weinberger, M.D., of the
National Institute of Mental Health. Guests who purchased tickets then
attended the reception and wine tasting, followed by the concert and a dinner
prepared by Chef Suzanne Goin. Goin is the daughter of former APA
President Marcia Goin, M.D., and owner/chef of Lucques in West
Hollywood, Calif., and A.O.C. in Los Angeles.
"We created the music festival to make a day of celebration, as well
as awareness and fundraising, so that we can fund research that will help us
to identify the causes and eventually the cures for mental illness,"
Garen Staglin told Psychiatric News in an interview last year.
