“When I first had the idea for ‘Superhero’ tees, it was for anyone who spoke out on mental health or has a mood disorder and found their solutions for recovery,” says Fong. “But when the pandemic hit, I realized there were so many heroes among us. Frontline workers at hospitals, doctors and nurses who were treating Covid-19 patients, those working in nursing homes, and especially those who’ve battled and survived the coronavirus are all heroes. A ‘CHECK YOUR HEAD Superhero’ now includes anyone who fights the good fight. A great gift for anyone, including yourself, to remind them of their awesomeness.” Superhero hoodies and tees are available HERE LATEST PRESS: Featured in the SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE: |

++++ MEDIA QUOTES “What makes this show different from the other mental health shows is her pairings of musicians and mental health professionals. We get to hear stories from behind the curtain…followed by meaningful discussion with people who truly know their stuff. I started with the two part Fred Armisen interview and found myself spending the next four hours plowing through amazing episode after amazing episode.”- Eloquilt, Words Focused on Hope “After struggling with her own mood disorder, her personal transformation made her especially sensitive to mental health crises in the music community she loved so passionately.” – Steve Wildsmith, The Ties That Bind Us “I salute and appreciate the valuable efforts of podcasts such as CHECK YOUR HEAD. They may be heard by the right person at the right time and help alleviate suffering. This helpful podcast’s website contains links to a variety of mental health resources for musicians and non-musicians.”- Steve Provizer, The Arts Fuse “Tackling everything from ADHD to relationship and childhood trauma, Fong and her guest leave no stones unturned and truly do their part to help battle the stigma surrounding mental illness. Fong helps to showcase the idea that it doesn’t matter how successful, how famous, or how much money you may have – mental illness can still impact your life, and mental healthcare is important for everyone.”- Jennifer Dill, Second Society Report
