Mission: 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.
About the foundation
Grant Halliburton Foundation was established in 2006 in memory of Grant Halliburton, 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 works to help families and young people recognize the signs of mental illness through a variety of avenues including mental health education, resources, and support.
Grant Halliburton Foundation offers a variety of education programs, presentations, and an annual conference on mental health, suicide prevention, recognizing the signs of depression, stress management, building resilience, coping skills, and other issues impacting youth mental health.
The Foundation also developed Here For Texas, which includes HereForTexas.com, an online searchable database of mental health resources in Texas, and the Here For Texas Mental Health Navigation Line, a free helpline. These no-cost community tools aim to offer easy access for Texans seeking mental health and addiction resources and information.
Since 2006, Grant Halliburton Foundation has provided mental health education, training, and support to more than 325,000 students, educators, parents, and professionals.
