Grant Halliburton Foundation

The Grant Halliburton Foundation offers a variety of mental health education programs for students, educators, parents, and professionals. It provides a free helpline called the Here For Texas Mental Health Navigation Line to assist individuals in finding mental health and addiction resources. The foundation developed HereForTexas.com, a searchable online database of Texas mental health providers and resources. Annually, it hosts the Beacon of Hope Community Luncheon to support mental health and suicide prevention, and the Hope Party, a fundraising event featuring dinner, dancing, and auctions. The foundation also runs Coffee Days, a free monthly peer support group for mothers of young people with emotional or mental health challenges, and offers the Thrive strategy, a comprehensive mental health curriculum for schools. Additionally, it implements Hope Squad, a school-based peer support team trained to watch for at-risk peers and provide friendship. The foundation provides educational presentations on topics such as resilience, stress management, and brain health. Located at Pegasus Park in Dallas, a hub for nonprofit and social impact organizations, the foundation hosts the When Life Hands You Teenagers conference, focusing on adolescent mental health. It offers a variety of low-cost educational materials, including brochures and wallet cards, for mental health education. The foundation collaborates with organizations like Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute and UT Dallas Center for BrainHealth, and provides support services through partnerships with organizations like Children’s Health and Texoma Health Foundation. Volunteer opportunities are available, including roles as mental health navigators and event volunteers.
