We’re Here to Change Our Systems of Care—And How Our Young Adults Are Treated

Phoenix Group Foundation was built on a belief that young adults deserve access to care that works—and families deserve clarity, not confusion, when seeking support. We’re not just responding to the crisis in mental health and substance use care; we’re reimagining what compassionate, coordinated systems can look like.

We do this through three interconnected initiatives.

Together, these initiatives power our mission to build a future where access to care is not a privilege, it’s a promise.

Your Support Helps Strengthen Communities

Support our mission by contributing a donation.

Building Hope, One Community at a Time.

We envision a world where everyone—especially our most vulnerable—has access to compassionate, evidence-based behavioral health care. Through the construction of innovative treatment centers across the nation, we plan to provide individualized support for those facing mental health and substance use challenges.

Unlike government-funded programs, Phoenix Group Foundation relies solely on private donations, allowing us to remain community-focused, flexible, and fully committed to our mission. Your support empowers us to create lasting change, build safer communities, and bring hope to those who need it most.

Suicide is the second leading cause of death for young people ages 10–34.

But here’s the truth: awareness, support, and connection save lives.

That’s why we created Hope In Action — a free guide for young adults, parents, and caregivers. Inside, you’ll find:
✨ Common warning signs to look for
✨ How to support yourself and others
✨ A fill-in personal safety plan
✨ Crisis resources + everyday wellness tools

This guide isn’t about judgment. It’s about hope, awareness, and reminders that every life matters.
