When the Mental Health System Fails Our Loved Ones, We Build a New One.
Millions of young adults and families are struggling in silence and full of frustration and defeat. Phoenix Group Foundation exists to rebuild what’s broken, connecting people to real support, trusted professionals, and communities that care deeply about the future of our families.
A CRISIS TOO CLOSE TO IGNORE.
A CRISIS TOO CLOSE TO IGNORE.
As of 2024
16,000,000+
young adults ages 18-30 are living with a mental health condition.
A number that continues to rise each year.
Out of these 16 million+
young adults, 41% receive no treatment.
These are more than numbers. They’re humans.
They’re your siblings, kids, nieces, nephews, friends, and neighbors.
A Crisis Too Close To Home
Young adults we love are fighting invisible battles every day, and the numbers tell a story that should stop us all in our tracks.
The mental health and substance use crisis isn’t just on the news, it’s in our homes, our classrooms, and our communities. Behind every statistic is a name. A young person with dreams, parents who may feel defeated, and a system that keeps saying, “We’ve done all we can.”
We couldn’t continue to sit back and watch it get worse.
1 in 3
young adults (18–25) lives with a mental health condition.
Nearly
1 in 7
has a substance use disorder.
41% of adults
with both conditions receive no treatment at all.
Suicide is the 2nd
leading cause of death for young people 15–24.

Our Initiatives
We’re Here to Build a Future Where Care Feels Human
We believe healing begins with connection. Our mission is to transform how young adults and families find, access, and experience mental health and substance use support, through education, collaboration, and community.
Families Deserve Better Than “We Don’t Know What to Do.”
Parents have told us the same story over and over again, and it’s heart breaking:
“We begged for help, but the waitlists were months long.”
“We called every number we could find.”
“We felt helpless watching our child disappear.”
“All they did was medicate her and let her go. We don’t know how to help.”
The truth is, mental health and substance use care in the U.S. is deeply fragmented.
It’s too expensive, too complex, and too hard to navigate. That’s why Phoenix Group Foundation exists: to close the gaps that keep families feeling hopeless and young people overlooked.
Every young adult deserves to feel seen. Every family deserves to feel supported. Together, we’re building a future where that’s not a dream, it’s the standard.
