Did you know California ranks second in the nation for rising rates of youth depression and anxiety?    According to the 2023 California Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative report, a staggering 65% of young people with depression aren't getting the care they need due to limited access to services.  Nonprofits like Mending Matters, a San Diego Foundation (SDF) Healthy Children & Families Initiative grantee, are working to change that by providing crucial mental health support to students across San Diego County. 💚  Read more about how Mending Matters is making a difference for youth in our region: https://bit.ly/3U7KPXA    #MentalHealthMatters #Nonprofit

Post-pandemic fall-out continues to impact students. More support to learn coping skills are needed at all levels but especially in underserved, BIPOC communities.
