Special ticket offer provides 35% off Sept. 17 program and opportunity to experience “Journey” exhibition
Technology, social media and artificial intelligence are increasingly woven into teenagers’ daily lives, but how are they shaping the developing brain?
Center for BrainHealth, part of The University of Texas at Dallas, has extended a special invitation to Grant Halliburton Foundation supporters to attend The Resilience Gap: How to Strengthen the Teen Brain in a Tech-Obsessed World on Thursday, Sept. 17.
The program kicks off the Center’s 2026 BrainHealth Presents season and is one of several September events surrounding Journey: The Art and Legacy of Grant Halliburton, a 20th Anniversary Exhibition. Presented in partnership with Center for BrainHealth and curated in collaboration with Business Council for the Arts, Journey connects Grant’s creative legacy with two decades of work to strengthen youth mental health and prevent suicide.
Foundation supporters can use code GHFVIP at checkout to purchase tickets for $39, a 35% discount from the regular price. Space is limited.
