Let’s promote better mental health in children, teens and young adults.
Grant Halliburton Foundation offers educational presentations that teach third- through 12th-grade students about important aspects of their mental health. Our skilled presenters make these topics engaging and interactive for students of all ages. We talk about stress management, resilience, depression, bullying, and suicide prevention. We offer online and in-person presentations.
Some of our recent partners include North Texas public and private schools, community organizations, Girl Scouts, The Resource Center, YMCA, youth groups, faith settings, and other North Texas organizations.
Youth Mental Health Presentations
Mental Health is an important part of our overall health and well-being! It’s made up of multiple factors, or building blocks, that include awareness of mental illness and suicide prevention, impacts of stress and adversity, insight into thinking patterns, resilience, coping skills, and boundaries to build and strengthen our mental wellness. It’s important to recognize mental health as the combination of these building blocks so youth can continue to learn and grow and improve.
