Over $2 Million Toward Mental Health Supports for Youth in Prince George’s County, Maryland

Pull Up Fund announces more than $2 million in grants to support Prince George’s County organizations delivering mental health services to youth throughout the county.

The organizations receiving grants include:

According to the 2020 Prince George’s County Child Well-Being Indicators, around one-third of middle and high school students reported experiencing a depressive episode over the course of a year, and 18% of students reported seriously considering suicide. In 2019, an estimated 15,000 youth ages 13-18 lived with a mental health condition in the county.

Furthermore, there is evidence that the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the prevalence of mental health challenges among children and youth. Pull Up Fund is honored to support whole-human initiatives to directly address youth mental health challenges across the county.
