2/28/24- MRF Donates to Hopeway expansion Program

On February 28th, 2024 members of the MRF board attended the opening of HopeWay’s new program for teens and young adults. This expansion, located in Charlotte’s Oak Hurst Commons development, focuses on providing treatment for teens and young adults with a primary mental health or eating disorder diagnosis. The facility looks amazing and now awaits regulatory approval, expected in April, so it can start serving the needs of this highly under serviced demographic. MRF is proud to support this initiative and looks forward to continuing to do so. In recognition of our support, HopeWay graciously included the foundation’s name on its Thank You plaque at the facility’s entrance. 

Charlotte's Hidden Crisis: Mental Health & Our Kids

The American Academy of Pediatrics, the US Surgeon General and several other associations have declared the state of child and adolescent mental health a national emergency.


Suicide is the third-leading cause of death among people ages 15 to 24 in the United States, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.


WSOC Channel 9′s Scott Wickersham spoke to Rachel and Rafael Rosado about the struggle their 19-year-old son Matias, who died by suicide in 2021, faced.

“There’s no medication for suicidal behavior. The medication is for depression and anxiety, and the patient needs to learn other behavioral skills that the medication does not teach you.”
