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 prevent suicide by providing education, resources, and support for children, teen, and young adult mental health.
Since 2006, the Foundation has provided mental health education, training, and support to more than 350,000 students, educators, parents, and professionals in North Texas.
EDUCATION
Grant Halliburton Foundation provides life-saving mental health education for students, parents, educators, and professionals. Our programs cover topics like suicide prevention, stress management, resilience, and healthy coping skills.
Our Building Blocks of Mental Health curriculum helps children, teens, and adults better understand and support mental wellness. We also host the annual When Life Hands You Teenagers conference, which brings together top experts to educate and empower those who live or work with youth.
RESOURCES
Our Here For Texas program offers free mental health and substance use support through two key tools. HereForTexas.com is our easy-to-use online database of mental health providers and services. The Mental Health Navigation Line is a free helpline with real people helping Texans find the right care for themselves or a loved one. Whether online or over the phone, we’re here to help individuals and families connect with the support they need.
SUPPORT
We offer monthly peer support groups for moms and female caregivers of young people facing mental health challenges. From Coffee Days to Charlas con un Cafecito (in Spanish), these groups offer a safe space to share, connect, and find hope. There’s no cost to attend—just real community, resources, and encouragement when it’s needed most.
Mission
OUR 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.
OUR VISION
We envision a world where suicide is no longer a leading cause of death for young people and where everyone affected by mental illness has the support and resources they need to keep them resilient, healthy, and here.
Needs
WHY YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS
The youth mental health crisis is real—and it’s urgent. Suicide is the second leading cause of death for Texans ages 10 to 24, according to the CDC. In our state, we lose a teen to suicide nearly every day, and in the DFW area, two each week, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services.
These are not just numbers—they are sons and daughters, students and friends, lost far too soon.
Grant Halliburton Foundation is on the front lines of this crisis, providing life-saving education, resources, and support to young people and the adults who care for them. But we can’t do it alone.
Your gift helps us expand our reach in North Texas, educate more teens, connect more people to mental health resources, and support more families before a crisis happens. With your help, we can build a future where mental health is prioritized, stigma is erased, and every young person has a chance to thrive.
Now more than ever, we need your partnership to continue this critical work in North Texas.
