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. Grant’s passion for life, people, and the arts will continue to touch lives for generations to come through the legacy of art, music, and words he left behind. 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.
Over the past 18 years, the Foundation has provided mental health education, training, and support to more than 325,000 students, educators, parents, and professionals. Through its Thrive Education strategy, the Foundation works with more than 175 schools to increase mental health resources on campuses through partner programs such as Hope Squad and telebehavioral health.
The Foundation also offers help and support through HereForTexas.com and the Here For Texas Mental Health Navigation Line, which has helped more than 2,500 callers in its five-year history. These free community tools provide easy access for North Texans seeking information and resources for mental health and substance abuse.
Moms and female caregivers of children facing mental health issues continue to find encouragement and community through the Foundation’s Coffee Days peer support groups and through Charlas con un Cafecito, its Spanish-language support groups launched in 2023.
Grant Halliburton Foundation works to strengthen the network of mental health resources for children, teens, and young adults; promote better mental health; and help prevent suicide.
Grant Halliburton Foundation seeks ongoing support for its mental health and suicide prevention programs focused on children, teens, young adults, and adults who live or work with youth.
Suicide is now the second leading cause of death for Texas youth ages 10 to 24, according to The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In Texas, we lose a teen to suicide at a rate of one per day and two per week in the DFW area, according to Texas Department of State Health Services.
Now more than ever, Grant Halliburton Foundation needs your support. We must make mental health part of the school culture and the Foundation will play a critical role in addressing the mental and emotional needs of children, teens, and young adults in North Texas.
Grant Halliburton Foundation serves everyone, no matter where you come from, what you look like, or how you identify.
We believe that diversity enriches our organization and programming, the communities where we live and work, and the lives of our employees and constituents.
To accomplish Grant Halliburton Foundation's mission, we believe we must be responsive to the needs of everyone in the community who may receive services, regardless of their racial or ethnic background. We will create and implement programs using our awareness of cultural differences and treat all supporters, volunteers, constituents, and those we serve with respect.
Furthermore, we will create an organizational culture that values people regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity and that is based on our organizational values of integrity, excellence, leadership, inclusion, collaboration, empowerment, and hope. Our commitment to inclusiveness will be evident in our organizational policies and procedures, as part of our strategic plan, and within our organizational goals.
