Mission Statement
Grant Halliburton Foundation works to strengthen the network of mental health resources for children, teens and young adults; promote better mental health; and prevent suicide.
Description
Grant Halliburton Foundation was established in 2006 in memory of a Dallas teen who battled depression and bipolar disorder for several years before his suicide death at the age of 19. The Foundation that bears his name helps people recognize and respond to the signs of mental illness through a variety of avenues including education, conferences, collaboration and encouragement. The Foundation provides mental health education, training and support to more than 35,000 students, educators, parents and professionals annually.
The Foundation connects people to resources through a searchable online database of mental health and addiction resources in Texas at HereForTexas.com. As an extension of HereForTexas, a help line that provides callers with information about mental health services and addiction resources in Texas will be launching in 2019. We need volunteers for this help line.
