Why Fong Cares Foundation

Overview of the Fong Cares Foundation 

Mental health challenges have reached a global crisis, affecting individuals across all demographics. The pressures of daily life, economic strain, and the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have exacerbated mental health issues, contributing to rising suicide rates. A March 2024 Mental Health Report ranked Nevada among the top five states for poor mental health days and reported that 18% of youth have experienced depressive episodes.
