About Grant Halliburton Foundation
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. Now in its 15th year, the Foundation that bears his name works to help North Texans learn how to recognize and respond to a young person in major distress or suicidal crisis. This is accomplished through a variety of avenues including education, resources, collaboration, and encouragement.
Since its inception, Grant Halliburton Foundation has provided mental health education, training, and support to more than 200,000 students, educators, parents, and professionals. The Foundation also offers Here For Texas, which includes HereForTexas.com and the Here For Texas Mental Health Navigation Line. These free community tools aim to offer easy access for North Texans seeking mental health and addiction information and resources.
